The Robert Day School of Economics and Finance (RDS) at Claremont McKenna College is an economics school, and the only graduate program at Claremont McKenna College. The Robert Day School emphasizes coursework that blends theory and practice. The undergraduate programs offer majors in economics and economics-accounting, and a sequence in financial economics. RDS also offers a specialized full-time master's degree in finance as well as administering the Robert Day Scholars Program. In contrast to any other liberal arts college, the offerings include a broad spectrum of core and elective courses in finance and accounting. The course is designed to develop the individual student's analytical, quantitative, and communication skills.^[1]

The establishment of the program was controversial, with several professors sending a letter to CMC president Pamela Gann saying they were concerned that the gift would "distort the college into a single focus trade school."^[2]
