New Resources Program

In an effort to meet the special needs and problems of post-college-age students, Pitzer College inaugurated the New Resources program in the fall of 1974. Students in the program are older than most college students; they have a wide variety of backgrounds; many have full-time jobs, a family, or both. In bringing their experiences to the Pitzer campus, New Resources students have added an important new dimension to the educational and intellectual life of the College.

New Resources students enroll in regular Pitzer courses as well as courses at the other Claremont Colleges. They may attend on a full- or part-time basis, although they are encouraged to plan their course loads with a realistic appraisal of their family and job commitments in mind. New Resources students may transfer up to 24 Pitzer equivalent courses, with a maximum of 16 Pitzer equivalent courses transferred from a two-year institution. Transfer credit does not calculate into a student's Pitzer GPA.
