Study Abroad Advising 

General Advising 

Starting to think about study abroad? Attending a study abroad information session is your first step!  

After you have attended an information session, you can schedule a one-on-one meeting with a study abroad adviser. 

  • If you already have a program in mind, you are encouraged to meet with the program adviser (see below). Note: Although you're required to have one advising appointment before you can apply, you do not need to meet with an adviser of every program you're interested in. 
  • If you are still exploring program options, schedule your initial appointment with Shawntia Key or Karey Fuhs.
  • If none of the advisers are available please email studyabroad@pitzer.edu to see if there is additional availability. 

Students can also meet with an adviser during Open Advising Hours every Friday from 10am-12pm in the study abroad office.

To set up a meeting, please check the calendar links below. Some appointments will take place over Zoom and some may be in person.
