The Kellogg School of Science and Technology is the graduate school of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI).

Established in 2002 and named 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, though also hosts students at Scripps Florida, a sister campus in Palm Beach County, Florida. In 2006, the Kellogg School was ranked among the top science graduate programs in the USA. According to "U.S. News & World Report", the school is ranked 7th for biological sciences (tied with Cornell and Yale) and 6th for chemistry (though for specialty training in organic chemistry, the school is ranked 2nd.)

The student body is currently around 170, mentored by 275 scientific faculty, including Nobel Laureates Gerald Edelman, Kurt Wuthrich and K. Barry Sharpless, and over 800 post-doctoral fellows. The President of the school (and TSRI) is Richard Lerner, and Jeffery W. Kelly is the current Dean.

In addition to its own doctoral program, The Kellogg School offers Skaggs Oxford Scholarships jointly with the University of Oxford.
