Welcome to the Whittier College
International Student webpage!
We
are confident that Whittier College can offer you the
most comprehensive four-year private liberal-education
in the beautiful Los Angeles/ Orange County area.
Nestled minutes from the Pacific Ocean and Southern
California’s stunning mountain ranges, Whittier College
provides unlimited opportunities for its students. From
our small discussion based classes (avg. class size =
17), to our Faculty Master Homes (professors living side
by side with students). Whittier College offers a
close-knit, community based way of learning.
At
Whittier, we don’t politely tolerate individual
differences. Instead, we embrace them. Diversity is a
reality here- not only in terms of creeds and colors,
but in thoughts, passions, and actions as well. Our
students love it that way.
Among
our 1,300 students are individuals from Sri Lanka and
Seattle, Mauritius and Minneapolis, and Bulgaria and
Boston. In all, more than 30 states and 15 countries are
represented in our student body. Few Whittier students
fit stereotypes; fewer still would want to.
This
page is designed to answer your questions, provide you
with information, and give you access to the forms you
need to apply, to tuition deposit, and much more.
Sincerely,
Darryl Foy

“My favourite part of Whittier is how far my
professors went to make class special. My Third World
Novel class actually met in our professor’s home. He
made a fresh pot of coffee from beans sent by his friend
in Costa Rica, and we sat in a living room to discuss
literature. It couldn’t have felt more authentic” –
