Claremont Graduate University (CGU) is a private research institution in California, specializing in graduate education. While it does not typically appear in global university rankings like the QS or Times Higher Education lists, it holds a distinct reputation for its specialized programs in social sciences, humanities, and management.
CGU is often recognized regionally, with U.S. News & World Report ranking several of its programs highly. For example, its School of Social Science, Policy & Evaluation is noted for research productivity. However, as a small, niche institution, it lacks broad visibility in comprehensive world rankings.
