2009-2010 Course Catalog
The current Scripps College catalog is a publication applying to the academic year 2009-2010. The information is, however, subject to change without notice, and those who are interested in any program or offering are encouraged to verify it with the appropriate department chair or the registrar.
The catalog explains the College's philosophies and beliefs, and describes, in general terms, some of its policies and procedures. This catalog is not intended to be a contract (express or implied), nor is it intended to otherwise create any legally enforceable obligations on the part of Scripps College or any applicant, student, staff or faculty member. Because Scripps College is a growing and changing organization, it reserves full discretion to add to, modify, or delete provisions of this catalog, or the policies and procedures on which they may be based, at any time without advance notice.
