“When students feel like they belong and their professors care about them, they learn more and are more likely to graduate. Those are ‘soft’ things we don’t think about as important to success, but they’re crucial and not soft at all.”

10:1 Student-Faculty Ratio

Students work closely with professors who combine a passion for research with the joy of teaching.

Committed to Student Success 

Pitzer faculty don’t just know your name, they know your interests and ambitions. Thanks to small class sizes, you’ll have ample chances to work with them on research that has exciting, real-world implications. 

And here’s something else to consider: Your relationship with your Pitzer professors doesn’t have to end after four years. Our faculty continue to serve as advocates and supporters for many graduates as they take the next steps in their professional careers.
