WHITWORTH UNIVERSITY
A different kind of Christian university. Whitworth University is a place of fearless inquiry. A place where faculty scholars conduct research with students, and meet them for coffee to talk about life. Where chapel isn’t required, but is often standing room only. Rooted in the grace and truth of Christian faith, we bring open minds and hearts together to equip students from all backgrounds to serve and succeed in a diverse and evolving world. whitworth.edu
