The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMS) at Claremont Graduate University is preparing new generations of mathematical scientists for positions in education, industry, and government laboratories.
We offer a variety of master’s and doctoral degree programs, with a strong applied research component. Through our internationally recognized Engineering & Computational Mathematics Clinic, we provide students first-hand experience in solving significant mathematical problems for industry and government clients. Together with the five other mathematics departments within the Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer), we run regular research seminars and colloquia.
Facts & Statistics
The Institute of Mathematical Science 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.
It currently has:
- Over 80 different pure and applied mathematics courses available at the Claremont Colleges
- Over 170 yearlong industrial mathematics projects completed by graduate math clinic teams (sponsored by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Southern California Edison, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and others), involving over 50 postdoctoral mathematicians
- Over 60 mathematics faculty from all of the Claremont Colleges teaching and advising students
- 4 Master’s programs and 3 PhD programs
- Over 250 PhD dissertations completed
- Joint degrees with California State University Long Beach
- More than 1000 registered alumni
