Harvey Mudd College is a private residential liberal arts college of science, engineering, and mathematics,
located in Claremont, California. It is one of the institutions of the contiguous Claremont Colleges.
Harvey Mudd shares university resources (libraries, dining halls, etc.) with the other institutions in the Claremont Colleges, including Pitzer College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, and Pomona College. Students at Harvey Mudd are encouraged to take classes, especially classes outside their major of study, at the other four Claremont colleges. Together the Claremont Colleges provide the resources and opportunities of a large university while enabling the specialization and personal attention afforded by the individual colleges.
The college is named after Harvey Seeley Mudd, one of the initial investors in the Cyprus Mines Corporation. Although involved in the planning of the new institution, Mudd died before it opened. Harvey Mudd College was funded by Mudd’s friends and family, and named in his honor.
