International StudentsPitzer College welcomes applications from international students. In addition to the other required credentials, students whose native language is not English need to demonstrate their English proficiency by submitting their results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 95 IBT or 240 CBT on TOEFL is required for regular admission though a score of 120 IBT or 300 CBT will be considered more competitive. Students who are qualified for admission to Pitzer in all ways except English proficiency but have achieved a TOEFL score of at least 70 IBT or 190 CBT are eligible for Pitzer Bridge admission. To find out more information on the Bridge Program, click here. Bridge students are admitted as regular, full-time students with the requirement of completing an advanced English requirement as part of their undergraduate studies. All admitted international students whose native language is not English will have their skills evaluated upon arrival on campus. Based on that evaluation, a student may be placed in appropriate PACE: University and Professional English for International Students courses, regular credit courses, or a combination of regular and PACE coursework. Pitzer College is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students and will issue a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) to all accepted students. Federal law requires that all international students present proof to the College and to the consular officer to whom they apply for a visa that they have sufficient funds to pay the full cost of their education in the United States. International students are not eligible for financial aid. International Plus AdmissionFor students who have passed any of the following examinations at the required level, Pitzer will grant one year of academic credit (eight courses). Students must have original documentation of the examination results sent to the Pitzer Registrar from the institution administering the examination or the examination agency itself. Students may be asked to pay for any fees associated with translation or interpretation of these documents required by Pitzer College.
