Academic Administration

The Whittier College faculty and academic administration exhibit a rare quality in American higher education: a commitment to balancing the teaching of undergraduate students with scholarly accomplishment.

Our finest teachers are also nationally recognized scholars who have won awards for their books, research, and other creative activities. The Whittier College faculty has a strong history of receiving National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, Fulbright fellowships, and lectureships, Graves Awards, NASA summer fellowships, and Haynes Foundation awards.
