Whitworth University is one of the best higher-education values in the Western United States. We're ranked No. 4 among 121 regional universities in the West in U.S. News & World Report's 2012 ranking of best values. We're also No. 38 on Kiplinger's ranking of the top 100 private university values in the United States; this is the sixth year in a row that Whitworth has made this selective national list.

The rankings recognize our strong commitments to academic quality and financial aid. These commitments, along with small class sizes and a supportive campus community, exceptional teaching, and thorough career and graduate school preparation, ensure that Whitworth students get an excellent return on their investment.

Here are a few more reasons Whitworth is a great value:

• 85% of Whitworth's graduates finish in four years
• More than 98 percent of Whitworth freshmen receive financial aid
• The average freshman financial aid award from all sources is $27,856
