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.
