Apply
Westmont selects candidates for admission from those prospective students who provide evidence that they are prepared for the academic stimulation and spiritual vitality that are central to the character of Westmont. For example, students should place a high priority on undergraduate education. Living and learning in a classic liberal arts environment should be valued. Applicants must have a clear understanding of the Christian mission of the college and an explicit desire to benefit from being in and contributing to the environment. In addition, applicants should possess the strong character, values, personal integrity and social concern that would be in accord with the Westmont community.
Each year, due to our enrollment cap of 1,200 students, there are more qualified applicants than we can enroll at Westmont. Thus, the admissions process is inherently selective. Recognizing the importance of peers in shaping a learning environment, Westmont gives attention in the admissions process not only to individual applicants, but also to the emerging character of each class as a whole. Your academic record, reflected in your transcript, is very important. However, there are other factors which will distinguish you as a candidate. Please take time to share them with us so that we may be aware of your unique qualities.
I look forward to personally reviewing your application for admission. I also hope to be able to meet you on your campus visit. Thank you for selecting Westmont as one of your college choices. Sincerely,
Joyce Luy
Dean of Admission
