Worth the Pursuit
Education Worthy of Adult Learners
Adult learners bring valuable experience, professional insight, and a clear sense of purpose to their education. They also balance careers, families, and community commitments that compete for their time and attention. That's why Whitworth Online is built to leverage the strengths you already possess while reducing unnecessary barriers, with thoughtful course design, consistent learning experiences, and support embedded throughout every program so you can focus on learning, not navigating.
90-Credit Degrees
Accelerated Degree Design
You've already invested time learning through previous coursework, your career, and life experience. Our 90-credit bachelor's degrees recognize that reality, by reducing the number of elective credits needed to graduate. You'll save both time and money while earning a degree that's focused on your program of study.
