Located in the heart of Missouri, Westminster College is a distinctive, liberal arts and sciences college with a global community. With an 11 percent international student population, Westminster’s students benefit from a great range of diversity on campus. Westminster integrates academics with experience by providing students with dynamic, hands-on, real-world experiences and seeks to be students’ “gateway to the world.” With an enrollment of just 1,000 students, the college community is intimate enough for each student to have an individualized learning experience and for faculty and staff to know their students well.
