Guidelines for Graduation

In order to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree, students are expected to fulfill the educational objectives of Pitzer College by designing, in cooperation with their advisers, 一种针对学生自身智力需求和兴趣的个性化学习计划, while at the same time meeting these objectives in the following five ways:

1. Intercultural Understanding Global/Local

为了满足跨文化理解的学生学习成果(slo),并为学生提供值得信赖的十大棋牌娱乐平台这一教育目标的全面视角, it is important that students demonstrate these SLOs regarding both global and local contexts. 学生, working closely with their advisers, 将选择一组课程和/或项目,从(a)全球或国际视角和(B)国内(美国)或当地视角来展示跨文化理解. 详见课程标准.

2. Social Justice, Social Responsibility Praxis and the Ethical Implications of Knowledge and Action

学生通过完成社会正义理论和社会责任实践两门课程来满足这一教育目标的毕业指导方针.

a. Social Justice Theory (SJT)
The social justice theory course will emphasize diverse theoretical frameworks, movements and histories of social justice. 详见课程标准.

b. Social Responsibility Praxis (SRPX)
社会责任实践课程强调通过社区参与来体现社会责任, 理论分析, and critical reflection, 或“实践.” 详见课程标准.

3. 知识广度

学生 may not count the same course toward meeting more than one breadth of knowledge area. Half-credit courses may not be used to fulfill any of the breadth of knowledge areas.

  1. Two courses in humanities and 美术. 正常情况下, courses in the performing arts, 美术, 外语, 文学, 历史, and philosophy meet this objective. Such courses are offered by disciplinary and interdisciplinary field groups including Art; Asian Studies; Asian-American Studies; Africana Studies; Chicano Studies; Classics; English and World Literature; Environmental Studies; Media Studies; History; History of Ideas; Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures; Music; Philosophy; Theatre; Dance; and Gender & 女权主义研究.  In cases of uncertainty about the suitability of courses meeting this objective, the advisers will consult with the instructor of the course. 同时满足人文与美术目标和社会与行为科学目标的课程只能算作满足其中一个目标.
  2. Two courses in the social and behavioral sciences. 正常情况下, courses in anthropology, 经济学, 语言学, 政治研究, 心理学, and sociology will meet this objective, as well as courses taught from a social science perspective in interdisciplinary 项目 such as Asian Studies; Asian-American Studies; Africana Studies; Chicano Studies; Environmental Studies; Organizational Studies; Science, Technology and Society; and Gender & 女权主义研究. In cases of uncertainty, the advisers will consult with the instructor of the course. 同时满足人文与美术目标和社会与行为科学目标的课程只能算作满足其中一个目标.
  3. One course in the natural sciences, with or without a laboratory component. 学生可以选择的课程包括凯克科学系提供的所有课程, including science courses designed especially for non-science majors, as well as most courses in chemistry, 生物学, 物理, 天文学, and geology offered at the other Claremont Colleges.
    除了, PSYC 101 PZ (Brain and Behavior), as currently taught with a significant emphasis in 生物学, is considered appropriate to this objective.
    学生是否应该通过完成上述未确定的课程或通过独立学习计划来实现这一目标, 他们的顾问必须获得指导独立学习或教授该课程的教员以及凯克科学系相关学科的教员的批准. 学生可能不会将同一门课程计算为同时满足这一目标和数学/形式推理目标.
  4.  One course in quantitative reasoning. 学生 will satisfy this objective by taking any mathematics, 统计数据, quantitative/survey research methods, or formal logic course offered at 克莱蒙特学院 or accepted for transfer credit, 除了那些唯一目的是为学生准备微积分的数学课程.
    学生是否应该通过完成上述未确定的课程或通过独立学习计划来实现这一目标, 他们的顾问将得到授课或指导独立学习的教师以及数学领域小组的一名教师的批准. 学生 may not count the same course toward meeting both this and the natural sciences objective.

 4. 书面表达

In order to be eligible for graduation, 学生应通过完成一门全学分的写作密集课程来展示自己的写作能力. 假设大多数学生通过成功完成第一年的研讨会课程来达到目标. 这些研讨会被设计为写作密集课程,是所有一年级学生的必修课.

没有上过写作课的转学生将通过完成一门写作强化课程来达到写作目标.

Writing-Intensive 课程

导师可以指定一个写作强化课程,如果:(1)至少25页的书面工作包括在课堂作业, (2)他们对其中至少10页的写作质量进行了广泛的评论;(3)他们允许学生根据教师的评论(剩下的)重写这些页面

15 pages may be journal entries, 写作考试, or non-graded exercises, such as in-class free-writing).

5. 完成专业

学生应该进行深入的调查,从而提高他们批判性分析的能力. To aid in meeting these objectives, 学生将, by the time of graduation, complete the requirements of a major, which are listed by field in the catalog.

Procedures for Satisfying the Major/ 教育目标

Prior to midterm of the second semester of the sophomore year, 学生将 choose a major adviser and begin discussions regarding the major. Advisers must be full-time faculty and have an appointment in the field. 学生必须填写一份专业申报表,并在大三第一学期的中期之前将其提交给注册办公室.

Prior to midterm of the first semester of the junior year, 学生将完成, in cooperation with their advisers, 专业声明表,确定学生已经满足或打算满足上述每项指导原则的课程或其他工作. 学生应该在他们计划课程安排的第一年就开始讨论教育目标.

Copies of the completed Major Declaration form will be kept by the 注册商’s Office, the students and the advisers. 课程或作业清单可经讨论并经顾问同意随时修改. 希望该声明的拟订和以后的订正将为双方的合作提供背景, 学生和顾问之间的创造性互动,以形成符合学院和学生个人教育目标的课程. 学生和顾问将在大四第一学期开始时审查专业申报表,以确保学生已经满足和/或正在朝着完成上述指导方针取得令人满意的进展.

At the beginning of the students’ final semester, 顾问将与注册主任核实学生在学期结束时(当学术课程按建议完成时)是否符合所有指导方针。. 学生 will have to satisfy each of the guidelines in order to graduate. In the case of disputes between students and advisers, appeals can be made to the Academic Standards Committee.

The College acknowledges the wide diversity of student interests, abilities, needs and styles. We expect that each student, together with a faculty adviser, will create a coherent program of study in accordance with the College’s 教育目标.
