Academics

Students who are intellectually driven and want to be involved outside the classroom will thrive at Whitman. Our academic program requires students to have a passion for learning, both in specific areas of interest and across the disciplines. Whitman students seek active involvement, participate, question, learn, grow, critically assess, analyze and communicate. They receive the best of what a liberal arts education is all about: small classes; engaging, distinguished faculty; opportunities to break through disciplinary, cultural and geographic boundaries; and an academic experience that builds intellectual and personal self-confidence.
