Student Work

As part of their requirement for the program, Whittier Scholars devise and complete a Senior Project under faculty sponsorship that encompasses the critical elements of the individualized Educational Design. In some cases, the project has formed the basis for future graduate study and obtaining post-college employment.

A full catalog of past WSP Senior Projects is maintained by the program staff, and can be found by clicking here. Examples of recent projects include:

  • A Study of Bulgarian Tourism as a Strategy for Economic Development
  • Bilingual Education: Historical Origins, Present-Day Applications, and Future Hopes
