Send Transcripts

Request official transcripts of all college and high school work to be submitted directly from school officials. If filing the Common Application, the request may be processed online through that application process.

The Office of Admissions recommends campus visits and interviews. Scheduling an appointment with your admission counselor to discuss your plan is encouraged, especially as you prepare to take the next step in your education.

Molly Miller '20 - Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army

"Participating in Army ROTC kept me focused on my academics and physical fitness throughout my four years at Westmont. While I enjoyed the small class sizes and community at Westmont, ROTC expanded my social circle and gave me many opportunities to serve the community of Santa Barbara. Army ROTC also provided the flexibility in choosing to serve full time or part-time after graduation."
