The Department of Natural Sciences
The Department of Natural Sciences is the interdisciplinary home to all natural science faculty in biology, chemistry, environmental science, neuroscience, and physics for Pitzer and Scripps Colleges. The department is administered cooperatively and is housed within an 150,000-square-foot center, The Nucleus, located at the intersection of the two colleges. The department offers 12 discrete degree options, including dual-degree programs in partnership with schools of engineering and majors in conjunction with disciplines outside the sciences. The Department of Natural Sciences provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary instruction in small class settings and numerous opportunities for students to conduct research.
