1.波莫納學院的錄取競爭十分激烈,與頂尖的綜合性大學一樣,教育質量很高,獎學金資源十分豐厚。它的費用和其他文理學院基本持平,而且它并不喜歡書呆子學生,雖然他們要求的SAT分數幾乎是文理學院中最高的。
2.美國百分之九十以上的文理學院都地處偏僻小鎮,學校致力于本科的小班教學,沒有助教,所有課程都是由擁有美國名牌大學博士學位的資深教授親授,所以非常注重教學質量。
3.波莫納學院不設置商學或者醫學專業的,如果學生對于商學或者醫學感興趣,只能選擇經濟學或者醫學預科的相關課程。文理學院不強調專業性知識的傳授,這也正是文理學院的立校之本,即所授課程只強調一個“廣”字。文理學院的教育目標,是力求塑造一個人的整體學識素養,并不熱衷于傳授學生一些具體技術性的知識,比如與金融、傳媒或者會計等相關的課程。
