School Overview

An education from Whitman College gives our students more than a degree to hang on the wall. It creates a way of thinking and interacting with the world that goes beyond a classroom or career path.

As a small, residential liberal arts college in Walla Walla, Washington, Whitman is rooted in the traditional liberal arts values like critical thought and academic rigor. But at our foundation is also a belief in the value of community and power of relationships. Our graduates are scholars, but also explorers, advocates and scientists. They climb mountains, travel to far-off corners and give voice to others. They care about community and aim to become citizens of the world.
