Claremont Graduate School: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Claremont Graduate School is a graduate university in Claremont, California, in the United States. It suits applicants looking for postgraduate study in a university tied to the Claremont Colleges consortium.

  2. What you can study

    The university is described as a postgraduate research university, so it is aimed at graduate-level study rather than undergraduate entry. No individual subject areas or programme names are published here, so the programme catalogue needs to be checked on the official website.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should treat this as a graduate application and check the university website for the current entry requirements, deadlines, and document list. The application process itself is not detailed here, so confirm the admissions pathway directly with the university before applying.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range here; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. As with any move abroad, also budget separately for housing, food, travel, insurance, and other day-to-day living costs in California.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated here, so confirm it on the official website before applying. You should also check visa requirements, the exact admissions documents needed, whether your previous degree is accepted for graduate entry, and how the university handles proof of language ability and funding.

  6. How it compares

    Among 2,515 universities in the United States, this is a graduate institution rather than a broad undergraduate university. Its key distinguishing feature is its postgraduate research focus and its place in the Claremont Colleges consortium, which makes it more specific than many larger general-purpose universities in the country.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them โ€” always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
