To see what courses are offered as part of each degree, students should view Whitworth’s Undergraduate Programs Course Catalogue page.
Select the program from the left-hand column (e.g., Art & Design, Biology, Business & Economics, etc.).
Once selected, students will see a description of the degree including an overview and link to the program page, information about faculty, Major/Tracks and Minors.
The Overview tab has a list of all the courses available to students in the Major. The Majors/Tracks tab shows required courses and a breakdown of tracks within a given program (E.g., within Art & Design, Graphic Design Track, etc.). Click on the name of the course to see a brief description including which semester the course is offered and whether there’s an additional fee associated with the class.
