Known colloquially to students as the 7Csâor the 5Cs, when referring only to the undergraduate institutionsâthe Claremont Colleges were founded in 1925 when the all-graduate Claremont University College (now Claremont Graduate University) was established in addition to the older all-undergraduate Pomona College.
The school was established as the Evening School of Theology (ì¼ê°ì íêµ) in Seoul in 1954. It became a full seminary in 1962, and a four-year college (Calvin Theological College) in 1976. The current campus was purchased in 1980. A missionary research institute was established in 1989. The school formally became a university in 1997, and the graduate school was founded in 1999.
