Academic Experience

Welcome to the vibrant world of academic discovery at Scripps College! Here, more than 65 majors and minors await your curiosity across the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and the arts.

Our modern liberal arts education is designed to help you think critically, communicate with confidence, and solve problems creatively. All students begin their studies with Core, Scripps’ signature interdisciplinary program spanning two semesters. Your senior year will culminate in a thesis, providing an opportunity to engage in intense research on a topic of your choice, which you’ll be invited to present on Capstone Day, our annual campus-wide celebration of our graduating seniors.

At the heart of the academic experience are the close bonds you’ll form with distinguished faculty at Scripps College and across The Claremont Colleges—leaders in their fields who are engaged, accessible, and committed to your success. With their guidance, you can take full advantage of our innovative curriculum by double or dual majoring with the option to add a minor. No matter your interests, your future starts here.
