Westminster ranks in the top 5 percent of colleges in the nation for ‘student-faculty interaction.’
Westminster students find success
through real experiences,
collaborative learning

Westminster College’s strong
academic reputation is no secret, but
students are often surprised by the
friendly, welcoming atmosphere on
campus.
Yes, our classes are small (usually
less than 20 students), and we know
you by name. But that’s just the
beginning.
At Westminster, our emphasis on
student participation in faculty-mentored
research and service-learning
projects ranked us in the top 5 percent
of all colleges in the nation for
“student-faculty interaction.”
We also have placed more than
90 percent of our students in internships
or other professional work
experiences before graduation.
It is this combination of real experiences
— meaningful on-campus
instruction and purposeful off-campus
opportunities — with exceptional
classroom instruction that is the key
to our students’ success.
But don’t take our word for it;
student success is why the New York
Times recently ranked us No. 1 in
Pennsylvania and Ohio and No. 22 in
the country among “Colleges Doing
the Most for the American Dream,”
and why Washington Monthly ranked
us a top 50 college for social mobility.
It’s also a big part of why Forbes
ranked Westminster as the No. 1
school for women in science, technology,
engineering and math disciplines.
We also believe that everyone deserves
a real opportunity to succeed.
In 1852, Westminster was founded
on the premise that all degrees
should be available to all people,
regardless of gender, race, religion or
economic status — and we are proud
to be one of the first institutions in
the country to take that stand.
Also, a Westminster education is
an exceptional value compared to
other high-quality institutions, as we
were recently ranked the No. 1 “Best
Value for the Money” in Pennsylvania
and the Mid-Atlantic Region by
USA Today/College Factual.
We welcome all people and believe
in learning from one another.
At Westminster, our students
study hard, support each other, learn
by doing, work together and succeed
in the classroom and in life.
