About the Institution
Since its founding in 1887, Whittier College has been a place of academic innovation, where a community of learners pushes past constraints and measured ways of doing things, embracing the bold and the cutting edge. Here, students and professors alike reach across academic dividing lines to discover the interconnectedness of ideas. As a result, students gain an intellectual grounding that will serve them throughout their lives—as scholars, professiols, and responsible world citizens. Whittier College is a four-year residential liberal arts college that pushes students to question the world around them and figure out their place in it. Located in the heart of Southern California between bustling Los Angeles and beautiful Orange County, Whittier is distinguished by its small size, pioneering faculty, and tiolly recognized curriculum. Facilities rival those at large public institutions, but ours is an intimate setting where students and professors unite in an ongoing pursuit of knowledge.
