Harvey Mudd College

Harvey Mudd College is a small, STEM-focused undergraduate research college of about 800 students, pairing rigorous technical education with a liberal-arts setting and close faculty-student collaboration. Its Clinic Program connects corporate, government, and nonprofit sponsors with yearlong, faculty-advised student teams addressing authentic technical challenges; sponsors retain the resulting intellectual property and work product. Located within The Claremont Colleges, a compact consortium of five undergraduate and two graduate institutions, HMC accesses shared resources and a broader academic and talent network while maintaining a personal campus environment. Research support comes prominently from the National Science Foundation, with additional awards from the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies; an Office of Sponsored Research and Projects supports grant and contract administration.
