Introduction to Scripps College

Located in the greater Los Angeles area at the heart of The Claremont Colleges, Scripps College delivers a rigorous liberal arts education that cultivates courage, creativity, and confidence. Studying at Scripps means learning with intelligent, inspiring women who challenge and support each other in everything they do.

The Core is designed to introduce you via interdisciplinary study to some of the major debates and concepts that have shaped the modern world. Students can cross register at the Claremont Colleges and also pursue a major offered by another Claremont College. All Scripps students complete a senior project or written thesis. Pre-professional advising is available to students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions, law, or business. 

Scripps students are passionate about their education, supportive of one another, and thrive in a collaborative environment. Students are part of a close-knit community, with ample campus resources and programming targeted to supplement life outside the classroom.

“I won the Quest for Exellence USA award. This award really helped out because it gave me the opportunity to visit a few QuestBridge schools to help me finalize my ranking order.”
