6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Whittier College is a private liberal arts college in Whittier, California, with bachelor's and master's study options. It suits students who want a small U.S. college setting and a limited set of programmes across business, engineering, computing, health, and related fields.

    The programme list includes 14 options at bachelor's and master's level. Examples include Cybersecurity, Architectural Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Clinical Pharmacy, Management, Marketing, Accounting, Dental Surgery, Pharmacy, Electrical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. If you want a wider subject range, check the current programme catalogue on the university website before applying.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university's admissions process and confirm the exact entry requirements on the official website. Check whether your chosen programme has separate academic prerequisites, what documents are needed, and whether any English language proof is required. If you need a visa, confirm the required admission documents with the admissions office before you submit.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current tuition with its admissions office. Living costs in California will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so budget separately for those expenses.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm that on the university website before applying. Also check visa steps, document translation needs, English language requirements if any, and whether your chosen programme is open to international students.

  6. How it compares

    In the United States, Whittier College is one of 2,515 universities and colleges. Its profile is narrower than many large institutions because it offers 14 listed programmes and only bachelor's and master's degrees, so it may suit applicants who want a smaller, more focused choice of study areas rather than a broad catalogue.
