My daughter has blossomed at Whitman. She has pursued and been offered many great opportunities to excel in different areas. I feel she would have been swallowed up at a larger college. It has proven to be the perfect school for her. She is not a BBMB major, but I can give general info.

Many of their classes are rotated on an every other year cycle, so they may not get the class they want this year, but should be able to get it the next year. In general, freshmen will get the last pick of classes as would be expected. I am not sure about the adjunct vs. tenure track professors, but I do know that they do not have TA’s teaching their classes. The largest class my daughter has had was maybe 30 students. Her freshman Encounters class (required) had 16 students.

My son is now applying to Whitman, and their grad rate is actually 86% not 96%. He is the complete opposite of his sister, but sees value in the excellent education they offer. We hope they are both there next year!
