Founded in 1851, Westminster College is a private, selective, coeducational, residential, undergraduate college. Our curriculum focuses on preparing students to succeed within their chosen careers and the diverse, global community we live in. Students are challenged and guided by expert faculty to evolve into the capable leaders and confident difference-makers they are meant to be.
Westminster College will have a national reputation for success in developing young men and women from all over the world to be leaders in a global community, recognizing that the proof of this claim will be the success of our graduates. The campus community will be truly integrated characteristics that give each person a unique identity that will become the basis for enriching community life. Westminster College will have the resources it needs to fulfill this vision and thrive as a learning community in the future.
It shall be the mission of Westminster College to educate and inspire all its students through a distinctive liberal arts curriculum and a dynamic developmental experience to challenge them to be critically aware, life-long learners and leaders of character, committed to the values of integrity, fairness, respect and responsibility and to prepare them for lives of success, significance, and service.
Westminster will be known as a campus that cares. Our faculty and staff will be dedicated to our students' success and committed to student welfare and growth in all developmental domains. Faculty will be first-class educators and scholars who blend outstanding academic credentials with excellence in teaching and focus on our students' welfare. Classes will be small, dynamic, and student-centered and emphasize human interaction, intellectual growth, and character development. Through their excellence, dedication, involvement with the students, and their example, the faculty and staff will play a crucial part in providing the atmosphere for growth and development only possible in a small, private college.
A selective, independent, residential college with an innovative curriculum based on the liberal arts, Westminster College's academic program educates and inspires men and women for leadership, service, and professional success in a global community. Leader development aims for a liberal arts education and a Westminster tradition that remains timeless and timely. Our interconnected and dynamic world requires broadly educated men and women of character who can make a difference in all walks of life.
We understand leader development as the education of the whole person. To this end, we offer a broad general education in the arts and sciences, along with 36 majors, 43 minors, three dual programs, and a wide array of integrated experiential learning opportunities.
We are a close, caring community in which faculty and students actively engage in learning. Small classes, student-centered instruction, and the intentional integration of theoretical concepts and practical applications characterize our education approach.
Imagine a semester abroad in England or a biology travel course in Africa. Picture yourself on an internship in the nation's capital or conducting scientific research in Taiwan. Envision service in the local community being integrated with courses in the curriculum. Dream about going home with a fellow student during the summer to the Maldives, Russia, or India. It all happens here at Westminster College.
Westminster College is a college all about change. Students come to Westminster from every corner of the world to be transformed. After their four year experience, they leave ready to change the world. Find a challenge, support, and direction as you live the Westminster College experience.

The mission of Student Life is to complement and enhance Westminster's mission through a dynamic student developmental experience. This includes creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable living-learning community, involving students in meaningful activities and athletics, and providing opportunities that foster experiential learning, character, career development, a sense of service, and spiritual growth. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here for students!
The aptitude to understand people from diverse backgrounds with different life experiences while also becoming aware of the public policy realms that impact their lives is becoming increasingly important within the professional world and in our personal lives.
The Center for Intercultural Engagement is thus entrusted with creating opportunities where members of the Westminster College community can gain the tools to thrive in a diverse environment and develop the ability to articulate the public issues of today correctly.
Westminster College has endless opportunities to get involved, become a leader, build friendships, serve others, and have some fun. We believe education happens both inside and outside the classroom, and a successful college career includes social and intellectual development.
