Women’s College Advantage

Diversity is our strength. As the only women’s college in The Claremont Colleges, a co-ed consortium of five prestigious undergraduate institutions, Scripps offers a supportive community of leaders and unique perspectives.
At Scripps, our students thrive in a collaborative environment where their voices are heard and amplified. Our students take ownership of their academic and post-graduate journey.
Studies have shown that students at women’s colleges are more likely to develop the skills needed for their careers, graduate in four years or less, and feel that they’ve made a positive financial investment in their education. By helping students develop their academic and interpersonal abilities, women’s colleges are preparing the next generation of global leaders and scholars to succeed in their chosen fields.
A few facts:
- Students who attend women’s colleges are more likely to major in STEM fields and serve in leadership roles within their college community.
- Graduates of women’s colleges are more likely to earn graduate degrees and hold corporate leadership positions.
- Women’s college graduates are often “firsts” in their professional fields. The first woman to receive the Nobel Prize, the first woman to be named CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and the first woman to serve as a general in the U.S. Army were all women’s college graduates.
