A place where creative, engaged scholars push for change – together

“I was drawn to Pitzer’s core values. Social responsibility was something I both understood and felt. I did a lot of community service, and when I visited, it didn’t feel like it was just for the name. Students and professors were including social responsibility in their classes and their daily lives.”

“Pitzer encourages creativity, learning, and blurring the boundaries between disciplines, and that’s where the most interesting and cutting-edge scholarship takes place.”

“There should be respect underscoring every action we take. It’s really about making a personal connection with the environment—that’s what ultimately will change behaviors.”

Our community is diverse and international: Over 7% of our students are international and 30% of our full-time faculty were born outside the U.S. Our global community ensures a wide variety of perspectives are present in your coursework, discussions, and campus life.

“Student engagement means that whatever decision is being made on-campus, it’s making sure students are a part of that decision-making process.”
