As a highly selective four-year residential college with a limited enrollment, we provide a personalized learning experience and a rigorous academic program. Students' learning is guided and shaped by faculty totally dedicated to undergraduate teaching. Our distinctive living and learning environment prepares students to be effective Christian leaders who will make vital contributions to their professions, church and the world. | ||||
| UNIQUE PROGRAMS | ||||
| Westmont provides students with a faculty who have achieved doctoral degrees in their chosen field. With class sizes averaging 23 and a 13:1 student-faculty ratio, students get an abundance of one-to-one opportunities with faculty. Being solely undergraduate also ensures students all the privileges graduate students get at research institutions such as immediate lab access, faculty advisors and research and publication opportunities. Westmont offers a diversity of academic programs like Neuroscience, Engineering, Kinesiology and a Teacher Preparation Program to go along with traditional strengths like Pre-Med, Business, English and Communication Studies. Most majors require practical experience to expose the students to their potential occupational choice. | ||||
