Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
At Pitzer College, faculty are organized into field groups, rather than traditional academic departments. In other areas of this report, the number of field groups (academic departments) is listed at 29. Here, the "Total number of academic departments (or the equivalent) that offer courses (at any level)" is reported to be 51. This number is more appropriately understood as the total number of majors with courses available to Pitzer students. Therefore, no discrepancy exists between the two reported figures.
