A Whitworth University education is characterized by academic excellence, the integration of faith and learning, abundant opportunities to engage in research and service, one of the best study-abroad programs in the nation, and thorough preparation for a career with purpose. Whitworth's faculty makes it happen. These dedicated Christian scholars conduct important research, perform in demanding musical venues, write critically acclaimed books, and earn recognition in their fields. But their primary commitment is to teaching – to sharing their knowledge, their faith journeys and their friendship with students inside and outside the classroom.
