Our emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, intercultural understanding, and social responsibility distinguishes us from most other American colleges and universities. Interdisciplinary learning encourages you to explore how different academic fields intersect and draw on each other's wisdom and ideas; intercultural understanding enables you to see issues and events from cultural perspectives different from your own; and social responsibility shows you how to transform knowledge into action as you strive to make the world a better place to live for yourself and future generations.

What's more, Pitzer requires fewer general education courses than most other colleges, so you get to take more of the courses that appeal to your individual interests. You can also choose among a range of courses that connect classroom learning to real-world experience, whether it's working inside a labor union, assisting with a faculty member's research, advising a neighboring city about economic development, or helping underprivileged children prepare for a future that includes college. Such experiences help you grasp the deeper implications of your actions and how your education at Pitzer prepares you to make a difference in society.

Pitzer offers an intimate academic and social community alongside access to the resources of a larger university through membership in The Claremont Colleges, and students are allowed to cross-register at the other Claremont Colleges. This opportunity greatly enhances the range of courses available to students. The total enrollment of all the colleges is about 7,300 students.

In addition, Pitzer has completed phase one of a three-phase residence hall construction project in which we expect to become, upon its completion, the only college in the nation to have all Gold LEED certified buildings by the U.S. Green Building Council. More More
