Pitzer Programs
Pitzer College operates five semester programs and three summer programs. These programs offer immersive, cohort-based experiences that integrate language instruction, family stays, an interdisciplinary course focused on the program location, and the opportunity to pursue an independent study and/or community-based service-learning project. Open to both Pitzer and non-Pitzer undergraduate students.
Approved Programs
Approved Programs are international and domestic program options approved by the Study Abroad & International Programs Committee for Pitzer students. Approved Programs include: Pitzer Programs, designed and administered by Pitzer; Exchange Programs, which allow students to enroll directly in Pitzer partner universities in the U.S. and abroad; and some specialized programs through partner universities and study abroad organizations. Open to Pitzer students only.
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.
