Harvey
Mudd College is a highly selective, residential liberal arts college for STEM
education. The high caliber of Harvey
Mudd students is one of the defining features of the college. In 2018, the
acceptance rate was 14 percent, and the average SAT scores of admitted students
commonly rank within the top ten among US universities. Harvey Mudd ranks
second among the nation's universities for the highest percentage of graduates who
earn science and engineering doctorates.
The HSA
Department offers a broad-based liberal arts program with considerable
interaction among faculty representing about fourteen disciplines, and an
interest in integrative and interdisciplinary work. Students take about one third of their courses
in HSA fields, and work with both a major and an HSA advisor on completing
their requirements for graduation. While
HMC does not offer majors in HSA disciplines, as part of the Claremont
Consortium, our faculty have significant opportunities for cooperation and
collaboration with colleagues at the Claremont Colleges and Claremont Graduate
University, all a short walking distance away.
Harvey Mudd College is located in Claremont, California, approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles, at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Compensation is competitive with comparable institutions and includes a full health and retirement benefits package, a slate of teaching and research development opportunities, and relocation costs.
