I chose to attend Whitworth because of the small class sizes and the ability to have access to my professors.
I also chose Whitworth because I loved the idea of sharing my faith with my professors and integrating my faith into STEM classes.

I chose to attend Whitworth because it felt intentional. Intentional about the important ideas and discussions it makes you think about. Intentional about the practicality of your career and how to best prepare you for it. And intentional about creating a community that helps students grow academically and personally.
