Courses and Major Requirements in
Each Field
Courses are numbered according to the level of preparation expected of the student.
Courses numbered 1 to 199 are undergraduate courses. Generally speaking, those
numbered below 100 are introductory courses designed for first-years and sophomores or
students with little or no preparation in the field. Certain field groups may choose to
differentiate further their offerings by designating certain series as general education
courses for students who are not necessarily majoring in the field. Courses numbered 100
or above are more advanced courses, generally designed for juniors and seniors or for
those with sufficient preparation in the field. Please note that some field groups may
make no distinction among courses by level of preparation necessary and, thus, may
designate courses by a simple consecutive numbering system. Students should consult
the introductions which precede each field group’s course offerings.
A semester course, or one semester of a year sequence, is credited as a full course unless
it is designated as a half-course. A semester course is indicated by a single number. Twosemester
courses may be indicated either by consecutive hyphenated numbers (for
example, 37-38) when credit for the course is granted only upon completion of both
semesters or by the letters “a, b” when credit for the course is granted for either semester.
Pitzer College does not give academic credit or accept transfer credit for courses in
physical education or in military science.
The letter “G” after a course number indicates an undergraduate course that is taught by
a member of Claremont Graduate University faculty and is open to all students in The
Claremont Colleges. Students should check the course listings each semester for
additional “G” courses. Students should also consult the relevant field group to
determine the level of preparation necessary for any individual course.
The letters “AA” after a course number indicate an intercollegiate course taught by the
Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies; “CH” indicates a course taught by
the Intercollegiate Department of Chicano Studies; or “BK” by the Intercollegiate Department
of Black Studies. These courses are open to all students of The Claremont Colleges. Any restrictions
on enrollment other than the level of preparation required are stated in the course description.
Some courses may be designated parenthetically with an additional course number, for
example, “(formerly 22).” This refers to a former course numbering system and is
provided for informational purposes only.
Pitzer students may register in courses offered in the other Claremont Colleges with the
approval of their advisers and subject to intercollegiate regulations. (See p. 298) Please
consult “The Claremont Colleges Undergraduate Schedule of Courses” booklet
distributed each semester for a complete listing of courses offered during the academic
year. The courses described in this catalogue are not always taught every semester.
