What courses are required for admissions to Pomona College?
There is no specific, prescribed curriculum the Admissions Committee expects from its applicants. However, the strongest applicants to the College take the most rigorous high school curriculum offered to them by their individual school, including four or, typically, five academic subjects each term during the 10th, 11th and 12th grades. It is strongly recommended that applicants complete a minimum of four years of English courses (with substantial practice in writing); at least three years of study each in mathematics and foreign language; and two years of study each in laboratory sciences and social sciences (three years recommended). In general, most successful applicants to the College will exceed these minimums; for example, many applicants complete four years of mathematics, foreign language, and laboratory sciences.
