Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

What are the academics like at Westminster College-Salt Lake City?

The professors really do get to know you, it's kind of difficult not to with the small class sizes. My favorite class so far has been Literary Criticism with Sean Desilets - it was absolutely fantastic. The students here are really competitive, I know for the English department the average GPA is somewhere around a 3.5, but the intellectual atmosphere follows outside of the classroom. Westminster really stresses the general education - and that includes language - which I think makes for a fantastic educational base, but I know some students think it's a bit much.

I believe that the mathematics department (my major) is fantastic at Westminster. Each professor is extremely intelligent and does a really good job of getting difficult points across to students. The professor's really want you to succeed, so they are willing to put the time in to help you if you are willing to to put the time in as well.

I've really enjoyed all of my classes. The teacher's are really interested in your thoughts and want you to understand the subject matter.

Your professors will know your name not only in class, but also when they see you out and about on campus. Professors will stop and talk with you if they see you, so sometimes you might be a little late or they might be a little late, but the conversation is worth it! One of my favorite classes was a History class that I took Spring semester. I have hated history most of my life, but this class was amazing, the professor taught the subject in a way that peeked my interest and made me want to know more! And of course the LC classes are the best too!! Mine was Math and Leadership, and we went and played lazer tag on class day! Plus they would buy us lunch stuff all the time!

Professors are good, and required to to have their pHD before they teach at Westminster. The new Meldrum science center is state of the art, with laptops, labs, and advanced equipment with stores of deadly and incredible chemicals.

Class sizes are small, professors know your name and they want you to succeed. I am a Financial Services major and so far I have enjoyed most of my professors.

The professors at Westminster will know you by first name. Most will have you call them by their first name. A relationship outside the classroom is often made. The learning/teaching style or technique is unique and very application based. They steer away from memorization in order to focus on the application of what you are learning. I thing this helps for the information to 'stick' and not just slip away upon completion of the class.

Jesse

Professors get to know you on a personal level and know by first name. Some classes are better than others because of this

The academic life is great fairly rigorous, particularly at the upper division level. Most all professors know all of their students, not just by name, but also "know" them, as in what their major is, how they learn etc. Most people come to Westminster to learn, and the campus life reflects that, but of course when the weekend comes the studying takes a break, and occasionally during the week as well.

The professors are really good to get to know, they help you out with whatever issues you might be having
