Scripps College

Scripps College Scripps College, a top-ranked women's liberal arts college, prepares students to contribute to society through leadership, service, integrity & creativity.

Scripps College is home to a proud community of intelligent and inspiring women, who support each other in every endeavor. From the natural beauty of our campus in Claremont, Southern California, we offer a modern and rigorous approach to the liberal arts that equips our students to live and learn with intention. Our sunny location at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and just 35 miles from Los Angeles provides students with a convenient home base from which to explore one of the most diverse and multicultural regions in the country, and our home within the Claremont Consortium affords them with all the benefits of a women’s college alongside the opportunities and connection of a much larger co-ed institution. The learning environment at Scripps is engaging, thought-provoking, and alive with community and creativity; encouraging students to learn to think deeply, communicate thoughtfully, and navigate their careers and lives with confidence.
