Whitworth University is a private institution. Founded in 1890, it is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and operates as an independent, liberal arts university. Private funding, including tuition and donations, primarily supports its operations.
Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, Whitworth relies on private sources. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs with a focus on integrating faith and learning. The university is located in Spokane, Washington, and emphasizes small class sizes and personalized education, typical of private institutions.
