Whittier is one of the most diverse private liberal arts in the United States and we’re proud to say that the diversity we have right here on campus is something we also take with us when we travel around the world.

Whittier’s diversity abroad FAR outpaced the averages nationally and is in line with the the population of the overall student body at Whittier. The recent statistics from NAFSA (found below) are a good example of the limited access to study abroad at most U.S. institutions.

 

So study abroad!  At Whittier you can do it!  As we continue to look at our data for the year, I’ll post more trends and figures about Whittier students abroad.
