W.M. Keck Science Department

W. M. Keck Science Department of Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer学院, and 欧洲杯在线平台 allows students to fulfill the college requirements in science and to pursue advanced studies as majors or as supplementary studies to related fields. Because of the significant role of science and technology today, a knowledge of the methods and concepts of science is considered an essential part of a 欧洲杯在线平台 education. The department curriculum, taught by a broadly trained science faculty, offers general and advanced courses and the opportunity for individual 研究 projects. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the department’s in-service training opportunities, such as laboratory, 研究, and teaching assistantships.

The department offers courses of study for the student interested in enlarging understanding of natural phenomena and courses for students desiring a major in 生物学, 化学, 物理, or some combination of these areas. A major in neuroscience is available for Scripps students who wish to pursue a multidisciplinary study of the biological bases of behavior. Interested students should contact Professor Melissa Coleman. Premedical and environmental emphases made possible by the above majors are two particular strengths of the department. Additional courses in science are offered at Harvey Mudd and Pomona Colleges.


5-College Programs

Students who wish to pursue a major offered by another Claremont College may arrange to do so by fulfilling the requirements of the major at that college. Arrangements for pursuing this major must be made with an off-campus major adviser in the appropriate program. See guidelines concerning off-campus majors and cross-registration.

Students may cross-register within The Claremont Colleges when off-campus enrollments fall within the guidelines listed in the Policies and Procedures section of this catalog. Individual course restrictions are indicated in semester course schedules. 欧洲杯在线平台 does not separately fund course costs, such as materials or travel costs, associated with courses at other Claremont Colleges.
