Westmont - The Right Investment for Your Future!

At Westmont, you will be consistently challenged to integrate what you’re learning in the classroom with your values and priorities as a follower of Christ - preparing you for a remarkable future.  The combination of Westmont’s superior academic programs, hands-on and cross-cultural learning opportunities, and first-rate faculty will equip you with the experiences and character you need to thrive as a thoughtful, modern-day Christian.   

At Westmont, we enhance the value of a college education in several important ways:

  • Personal Attention

With an average class size of 18, you’ll have extensive opportunities for one-on-one teaching and mentoring from your professors.

  • Focus on Undergraduate Education

Because Westmont is exclusively undergraduate, you will always have the privilege of a Westmont professor teaching your class.  Plus, you’ll be able to work side-by-side with your professors on original research - all the equipment and and resources Westmont has to offer are solely for the use of undergraduates.

  • An Emphasis on Developing Character

From thought-provoking classes to a rich campus ministries program (including our well-known Potter’s Clay Mexico ministry) to a diverse student body, everything about Westmont is geared toward deepening your character and giving you the strength and resources you need to be the person God has created you to be.

  • An Understanding of the “Big Picture” of Your Life

As a liberal arts college deeply rooted in Christ, Westmont strives to help you grow intellectually, personally and spiritually. Plus, significant opportunities for hands-on, off-campus learning and service - such as our well-known Potter’s Clay ministry in Mexico - give you a big-picture view of the world and your place in it.  By providing an education that integrates faith and knowledge, we prepare students not only for rewarding careers, but also for rewarding lives of learning and serving.

  • Graduation in Four Years

The U.S. Department of Education cites that 79% of students at private, four-year institutions complete their degrees in four years or less, compared to 49% of students at public institutions.  At Westmont, a majority of students complete their degree in four years - which means you can be out making money while your peers, who need additional semesters to graduate, will be losing out on potential income.     

  • Nationally Ranked Academics

Students say Westmont’s academic programs, which feature top-ranking faculty (89% of whom hold the highest degree possible in their field), are often life-changing. In fact, the value of our educational experience is so exceptional that U.S. News and World Report has recognized Westmont as a first-tier national liberal arts college, and The Princeton Review has named Westmont as one of the “Best in the West”.  This national recognition gives your Westmont degree an even stronger reputation.  

  •  A Track Record of Unparalleled Success

You’ll find that Westmont students have succeeded in almost every field, from business to education to art. They have gained admission to the nation’s top law and medical schools and to graduate programs in a wide variety of fields, including those at Columbia, Harvard, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Princeton, Yale and many other fine institutions.
