Mission:

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.

Vision:

The Westminster College campus will provide excellent facilities to support our high quality educational and personal development experience. Student living areas and academic buildings will be clean, well maintained, and connected to technology. The campus grounds, athletic fields, and fraternity housing areas will reflect our pride in and love for the college as well as the excellence of our programs. The Churchill Memorial will be an integral part of the campus scene and will symbolize the leadership and selfless service of Churchill himself. The campus culture will bring to reality the vision of free and open thought and speech that nurtures educational excellence.

About Us:

Founded in 1851, Westminster College is a private, selective, coeducational, residential, undergraduate college with a curriculum based on the liberal arts with an emphasis on developmental experience. The College is dedicated to teaching excellence and an education centered on key values (integrity, fairness, respect, and responsibility) that prepare our graduates to become leaders of character.

The student enrollment is just under 1,100 with a student/faculty ratio of 15:1.  In the academic year 2009-10, students represent 27 states and 65 countries, making Westminster one of the most diverse small liberal arts colleges in the nation.

Winston Churchill delivered his famous "Iron Curtain" speech on campus in 1946, and in recent years George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, and Lech Walesa have participated in the College's international lecture series. Prominent on campus are the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library and the monumental sculpture "Breakthrough," created from sections of the Berlin Wall.

The College is located in Fulton, Missouri, a community of 13,000 residents that is approximately 25 miles from both Columbia and Jefferson City.
