7C Resources

• The Institute of Mathematical Sciences was founded in the late 1960s as the graduate division in Mathematics for the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges: Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps. Undergraduate students at the Claremont Colleges can obtain a graduate degree on an accelerated track, working toward the master’s requirements simultaneously with the completion of an undergraduate degree. Recent alumni of the Claremont Colleges can also obtain a graduate degree on an accelerated track. For more information about accelerated master degrees with IMS read about Accelerated Masters here.
