In 1997, through a generous $50 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, Keck Graduate Institute was born. KGI represents The Claremont Colleges’ first entry into graduate-level, application-based scientific research and education. It remains the only graduate institute in the country with this sole focus.
The schools at KGI uphold the following values:
KGI is dedicated to education and research designed to translate the latest innovations in pharmaceuticals and the applied life sciences into practice for the betterment of society.
KGI Student Affairs is here to support your academic growth and success.
KGI is committed to the safety of our faculty, staff, students, and visitors within the laboratory environment. Supported by the Chemical and Biological Laboratory Safety Program, KGI ensures that anyone working in the laboratory has access to the training, information, equipment, and support they need to work safely.
The unique structure of KGI, and our closely knit campus community, provide faculty members with opportunities to collaborate on interdisciplinary research projects and engage in novel approaches to teaching. KGI’s new model of graduate education, featuring interdisciplinary, translational research, attracts top-tier teaching talent and industry leaders to our classrooms and labs.
