Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC)
“PROFILE: The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) was formed in 1915 when five Southern California institutions combined for the purpose of promoting and governing competition in intercollegiate sports with the fundamental principle of the conference being to encourage the highest ideals of amateur sports in an environment of high academic standards.
While the mission of the conference has remained in tact since the beginning, the membership has varied over the years, but now stands at eight (since 1991). The five original SCIAC schools are still members and include California Institute of Technology (CAL TECH), Occidental College, Pomona College, University of Redlands, and Whittier College. Both Occidental and Redlands are, however, the only institutions who have uninterrupted membership in the conference. The five original intuitions have since been joined by California Lutheran University (CALU), Claremont- Mudd- Scripps Colleges, and the University of La Verne in order to comprise the current membership. In the case of Pomona College, since its original affiliation, it has now joined with Pitzer College to become Pomona-Pitzer Colleges athletics.
