Pitzer College embraces a unique set of educational objectives that encourage students from all majors to think about the world in ways that expand their understanding of other cultures while working to translate that knowledge into action that will benefit the communities they become a part of whether here or abroad. This type of learning is fostered by the Pitzer curriculum in Claremont and at our study sites around the world.
To further its educational objective of intercultural understanding, Pitzer has carefully developed its own study abroad 项目. The 项目 are open to all students (Pitzer College students and students from other colleges).

项目的亮点
跨学科核心课程
The core course in Pitzer 项目 includes a series of lectures given by the host university’s faculty and specialists from governmental and non-governmental organizations that are connected to the more experiential program components of family stays, fieldwork and study trips to provide a high degree of cultural immersion and cross-cultural learning.
的Fieldbook
的Fieldbook recognizes that writing is one of the deepest and most precise records of experience and an activity that both generates and reflects learning. 需要你的时间和智力, the Fieldbook asks you to integrate the theoretical and experiential components of the program through a series of writing assignments.
内容与设计
Pitzer 项目 are designed to create comprehensive, semester-long experiences rather than an assemblage of unrelated courses set in foreign locales. The program components are intentionally designed to provide the tools to help you engage the culture both academically and on a personal level.
语言强化学习

家庭保持
Central to the success of Pitzer 项目 is an extended stay with one or more host families. More than any other aspect of a Pitzer program, family stays help you understand the host culture and the issues important to their community and country.
参加人数有限
To best support your learning and minimize the impact of our group’s presence on host communities, we limit the maximum number of students in our 项目 to a level appropriate for each program site, 一般从12岁到20岁. Sites with rural components often have more restricted enrollments than sites in urban centers.
