Whittier College is where students are actively involved in the local community as they explore their role in the global community. Our residential nature is a key component in fostering an atmosphere where knowledge can be pursued 24/7. With a 10:1 student to faculty ratio, students are not lost in the shuffle and are provided with a strong network of support to ensure their success. This is a community where individuality is valued, tolerance is cherished, and the things that make each of us unique are invaluable tools in seeking greater knowledge and understanding.
