Non-Approved Programs

Pitzer students who have a particular educational need that cannot be met through one of the Approved Programs may petition to apply to a Non-Approved Program. There are a limited number of spaces for Non-Approved Programs each academic year, so the petition process is selective and competitive. Petitions are approved by the Study Abroad & International Programs Committee.
