Since 1890, Whitworth has held fast to its founding mission of providing "an education of mind and heart" through rigorous and open intellectual inquiry guided by dedicated Christian scholars. A Whitworth education is characterized by academic excellence, the integration of faith and learning, abundant opportunities to engage in research and service, excellent study-abroad programs, and thorough preparation for careers with purpose. Whitworth professors conduct important research, produce critically acclaimed art and music, write books of note, and earn recognition in their fields. But their primary commitment is to teaching - sharing their knowledge, faith journeys and friendship with students inside and outside the classroom.
