Westminster College was born January 21, 1852 in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, with an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). As one of the earliest coeducational colleges in the nation, Westminster was founded to promote the spirit and values of Christianity while focusing on the development of the individual – intellectually, spiritually, and socially – which still rings true today.
The mission of Westminster College is to help men and women develop competencies, commitments and characteristics which have distinguished human beings at their best. The liberal arts tradition is the foundation of the curriculum continually designed to serve this mission in a rapidly changing world.

Great university and the Fashion business management course! The academic staff is very helpful, the course has a lot of variety and extensive sources to study from. the campus is clean and well-taken care of, everyone is very welcoming and helpful.
Its a good university overall. You have the opportunity to choose extra credits and learn a new language. The teachers on my course definitely had a lot of expertise in their area and most of them try to be helpful.
Westminster College was quite the experience for me! The school itself is tucked away on this beautifully curated campus, complete with Emigration Creek running through the campus, a covered bridge, up-to-date and new facilities, and an active faculty and staff that truly take an interest in their students. The Nursing program is one of the top programs in the western US. The programs can be small, but this is ideal if a student thrives in a more intimate environment. I enrolled in the History program and found that my interests were supported. With the help of my professors and the Library staff, we were able to craft a curriculum and experiences that would nurture my interests and education. For the larger programs, I think you can still garner a similar experience. The school itself works hard to aid students in finding the money to afford their education, provides students with ample opportunities to explore their interests, meet their peers, and get to know the area. As a mature student, I was concerned about finding the kind of support older students may need. And I felt that Westminster took the time to ensure that I was able to have a positive experience. I thought the classes were interesting, and it was difficult to choose which courses to take. There were a number of opportunities I wanted to experience, but I was unable to complete them due to my impending graduation.
