Hello everyone
I was just looking up when NYU bought the Polytechnic University and I found out that many great schools were formed from the merger of 2 or more school (for example Carnegie Mellon). So I thought... What if Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer and the graduate schools in Claremont merged?
At the moment:
-They are all LACs
-They all have top notch departments, and they are complementary
-They are all adjecent
-They tend to attract a similar type of student
If they merged:
-There would be a very wide campus, spreading across the current 5 colleges
-It would be a top notch university, likely in the top ten in most departments
-It would offer a better undergraduate focus than most university (just like Princeton and Dartmouth)
-It will have a larger name recognition
-It might attract more student and increase yield
-It will result in saving money
-It will have about 3.5 billion USD in endowment, which would put it ahead of all LACs and almost tied to Dartmouth College
What do think?
