Here at Whittier, we strive to help our students acquire the skills needed to become successful and get the most out of their college experience. Excellent study skills are an important factor in becoming a successful student. Whittier works with our students and provides them with the necessary tools to achieve these skills.

It is also important for students to set academic goals. Our mission at the Center for Academic Success is to assist students in achieving their goals by helping underprepared students prepare for the challenges that lie ahead, helping prepared students advance to the next level, and helping advanced students excel in life.

Students are given opportunities to assess their academic strengths and weaknesses, and are offered learning tools to help them reach their potential. Our team of professional staff members and well-trained peer tutors, in conjunction with Whittier faculty, come together to help create a supportive learning environment.
