Curriculum
To implement an academic philosophy designed to meet the needs of individual students, Westmont offers a curriculum that includes a broad spectrum of disciplines. Students study under a faculty deeply committed to research and scholarly activity as well as to personalized teaching.
The following pages feature descriptions of Westmont’s majors, programs, and courses. They reflect the College’s conviction that its curriculum must be comprehensive in nature yet specific enough to promote a breadth of perception and a depth of understanding.
Within the framework of a strong liberal arts emphasis, Westmont provides opportunities for students to build a foundation for specialized education and to expand vocational horizons.
Important Note: Prerequisites may be met by an equivalent transfer course, as determined by the Student Records Office and/or the academic department chair.
