The Kellogg School of Science and Technology is the graduate school of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI).
In 1989, TSRI launched the Macromolecular and Cellular Structure and Chemistry (MCSC) Program which offered graduate training in the biological sciences. This was quickly followed by the establishment of the Chemistry Program in 1992. In 2002, TSRI renamed its graduate program the Kellogg School of Science and Technology, in honor of philanthropists Janet R. Kellogg and W. Keith Kellogg II (the grandson of Will Keith Kellogg). The Kellogg School offers an interdisciplinary "Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Sciences." The nature of the program permits students to take curricular tracks in biology, biophysics, chemical biology or chemistry, reflecting the research strengths of the Institute.
The school is headquartered in La Jolla, California (32°53′42″N 117°14′28″W / 32.895°N 117.241°W), with a second campus in Jupiter, Florida (26°53′06″N 80°06′50″W / 26.885°N 80.114°W) . According to the U.S. News & World Report,[1] the Kellogg School in 2010 was ranked 7th in biological sciences and chemistry (3rd in organic chemistry).
The student body is currently ~200 and is mentored by 275 scientific faculty, including Nobel Laureates Gerald Edelman, Kurt Wuthrich and Karl Barry Sharpless, and more than 700 post-doctoral fellows. James R. Williamson is the current dean and William R. Roush, Velia Fowler and Philip Dawson are the current associate deans.
In addition to its own doctoral program, The Kellogg School offers Skaggs Oxford Scholarships jointly with the University of Oxford.
