Your net price is a college’s cost of attendance minus the grants and scholarships you receive. The net price you pay for a particular college is specific to you because it's based on your personal circumstances and the college’s financial aid policies. Use the college’s Net Price calculator for the most accurate estimate of your net price.

At CMC, credit and/or placement for AP and IB examinations is evaluated on a subject-by-subject basis by the appropriate departments and is subject to final approval by the faculty. In some subjects, students will receive credit for AP scores of 4 or 5, and IB higher level (HL) exam scores of 6 or 7. In other subjects, they may receive placement and no credit. The maximum amount of credit students may receive for any combination of AP or IB examinations is the equivalent of four (4) CMC courses. Students cannot receive credit for more than one course or examination covering the same subject matter and students lose credit for an AP or IB course if they repeat the same or a lower-level course. CMC does not grant credit for exams in subjects not offered at the College. Official copies of AP score reports or IB transcripts must be received by the CMC registrar no later than the first semester of the junior year to be considered for credit or placement.

Claremont McKenna College, one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges, prepares students to make a difference. The College educates students for thoughtful and productive lives and roles of responsible leadership through its strong, real-world mission. Admission to the College is need-blind and emphasizes the demonstration of leadership accomplishments. The College attracts a student body that is broadly diverse and accomplished beyond the classroom. Located on a scenic, tree-lined residential campus 30 miles east of Los Angeles, Claremont McKenna is a member of The Claremont Colleges, a seven-college consortium modeled after Oxford University. CMC students choose from more than 2,200 classes and participate in co-curricular activities with 7,000 other students at Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, and Scripps College, as well as the Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute. Students have the best of both worlds: the intimacy of a small residential college with small classes and a student-faculty ratio of nine to one, and the shared resources of a larger research university.
