Degree Requirements
This web page contains the most current academic information and degree requirements available. The graduation requirements published in the Whitworth catalog in effect at the time of the student's initial enrollment are those that should be met for completion of an undergraduate-degree program (Click here to view printed catalogs). Students who withdraw from Whitworth and return after an absence of more than one year must meet the graduation requirements in effect at the time of their return; students who return within one year may continue under the requirements in effect at their original enrollment.
In order to obtain a degree, students must meet Whitworth's Requirements for Graduation (Click here to view Whitworth's Requirements for Graduation).
