| Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: | Since 1946, Claremont McKenna College's mission has been to prepare students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions. The mission is rooted in what the founders called the Original Idea," which was that CMC would provide an education "rationally balanced to meet the political, economic, social, and cultural needs of students so as to prepare them for tomorrow's world of affairs." They envisioned CMC as a residential liberal arts college that would be distinguished by its focused academic program and its commitments to responsible leadership and research. Their vision and mission would come to life through: i) an academic program focused on core liberal arts disciplines across the social sciences, sciences, and humanities; ii) a curricular emphasis in economics and government with the expectation that all students would engage with the current affairs of the day; iii) an interdisciplinary approach; iv) a balanced view of economic and political perspectives; v) a faculty of top quality teacher-scholars; and vi) a commitment to ethics. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments: | Claremont McKenna College, one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges, prepares students to make a difference. Since 1946, Claremont McKenna College's mission has been to prepare students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions. The College attracts a student body that is broadly diverse and accomplished beyond the classroom. Claremont McKenna is a member of The Claremont Colleges, a seven-college consortium modeled after Oxford University. 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. Renowned for expertise in economics, government, humanities, and the sciences, Claremont McKenna has been a leader in academic freedom and viewpoint diversity, as well as a community that values persuasive and reasoned debate. The College emphasizes the integration of leadership and innovation experience within eleven world-class research institutes, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum, and sponsored off-campus internships. More than 90% of students complete internships and nearly half study off-campus during their four years. CMC's Student Opportunity Center provides all students with advising, mentoring and networking support that is tailored to each student's professional goals. Many Claremont McKenna graduates go on to receive prestigious post-graduate fellowships and degrees in business, law, medicine, and many other fields. CMC alumni thrive in a wide range of careers including consulting, education, business, government, media, nonprofit leadership, science, and technology. Claremont McKenna excels nationally in post-graduate job placement and career success. |

The College has engaged an outside accounting firm to prepare the Form 990 using information provided by the College's Treasurer's Office and the Claremont Colleges Services' Office of Financial Services. Once a draft has been prepared, it is reviewed by individuals in the Office of Financial Services, the Office of Human Resources, and the College's Treasurer's Office, and changes are made as needed. Once a revised draft is available, it is reviewed by the Controller, the Associate Vice President of Finance, and the Vice President of Business Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. After this review and any resulting changes are complete, the revised draft is provided to members of the College's Audit Committee for questions and comments. Once questions and comments from the Audi Committee are fielded and issues resolved, the 990 is provided to all voting members of the Board of Trustees prior to filing. |

All transactions in which the Audit Committee has determined that a conflict exists are approved or ratified by the Board of Trustees. |
