Degree Programs
If you attend Whitworth in the Evening, you're an adult student. You
bring a great deal of experience and prior learning into the classroom. We build
our classes so that you can learn together with and from other adults
just like you. In addition, you get to glean from the expertise and practical
knowledge that each instructor brings into the classroom. It's the best
of both worlds: higher education and professional expertise.
