ALL sciences at Scripps are done through a combined Scripps/Claremont-McKeena/Pitzer science program (Keck) which, taken together, is slightly larger and has more offerings than Pomona. Hardly rudimentary, again, compared with Pomona, or Swarthmore for that matter (Swarthmore’s being considerably more robust than Pomona’s).

I had the impression that most of the enrolled Scripps students are pre-med; students are also able to cross-register at Mudd (the same way Pomona students can, but Scripps is closer.)

You are right, though, that the big difference is in the studio arts - much bigger than the differences in physics. Scripps compares favorably with any liberal arts college in the country in the depth of its offerings. The cross-registration thing does work, but priority is given to the college’s own students and to its majors.
