Scripps College is a private women's liberal arts college in Claremont, California, founded in 1926. It provides undergraduate education with an emphasis on the humanities and interdisciplinary study, enrolling approximately 1,100 students across a 32-acre campus. Nearly all students live on campus, contributing to a close-knit residential community.
The college offers over 60 majors and minors spanning fields such as biology, English, environmental analysis, media studies, neuroscience, politics, and psychology. Its core curriculum encourages students to think across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Scripps is part of The Claremont Colleges consortium, which gives students access to resources across seven institutions while preserving the intimacy of a small college.
Several centers extend the college's academic mission. The Laspa Center for Leadership supports students in developing leadership capacities, while the Intercollegiate Feminist Center fosters research and dialogue on gender issues. The institution is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, with ongoing initiatives to maintain an equitable and welcoming environment.
