CAMPUS SUMMARY

The opportunities offered by HMC's undergraduate focus provide its students incredible access to some of the top undergraduate science and engineering faculty in the country. Students enjoy a faculty dedicated to their education. They study and work in facilities that typically surpass those available to undergraduates anywhere in the world! Regardless of their major, Harvey Mudd students devote one-third of their study to a common technical core in math, physics, biology, chemistry, computing, and engineering design. Another third is devoted to the humanities, the social sciences, and the arts...an emphasis unequaled by any accredited engineering college in the nation. The final third is taken in your major. All students carry out research for at least one year. It is not uncommon for undergraduate students at Harvey Mudd to author or co-author scientific papers published in nationally recognized journals.
