The school has small class sizes, so you really get a great learning experience and the ability to connect with your professors. It leaves open a lot of opportunities to progress further in your major, because you can actually meet with your professors one on one.

Professers are all really nice and really knowledgable about what they're teaching. They encourage you to stop by their office hours all the time and. It's not hard to get a hold of professors or other students. There's all kinds of classes to suit any interest and and the requirements make it possible to take those classes along with the gen. eds.

Every class has class participation. There isn't getting by on other people doing the work for you. The teachers learn everyone's names very quickly, and I still have professors from my freshman year remember who I am and ask about my major and how things are going for me. There are tons of opportunities to take cool and unique classes, especially over May Term or in the Honors Program.

I'm in the School of Education, and it's quite different from all other programs I've experienced (I changed majors several times). Professors and students are on a first name basis. All the professors practice what they teach. Students go out and practice effective teaching methods before they student teach. I have never been so motivated to work hard in any other program. If teaching is what you want to do, Westminster is the place to be.

The professors know all of their students on a personal level, and because classes are small after a semester or two you become very close with your peers. Many projects are done in groups and help teach students to become acclimated with working in a team setting. Because Westminster is a small private school the academic requirements are challenging and require students to spend a sufficient amount of time studying. Westminster offers many unique, fascinating classes such as the Psychology of Love during May term, and others during regular semesters. I strongly suggest to any prospective student that if they choose Westminster to take full advantage of the May term trips and classes!

If you're planning on studying at Westminster you should definitely be prepared to participate in class discussions and projects everyday. Because most classes are pretty small, professors are able to use class discussion instead of boring old lectures. This also allows students and professors to get to know one-an-other on a first-name basis. Professors usually have plenty of office hours, and are very welcome to visits outside class.

The professors are great! They know you by name and are willing to meet with you any time. The class sizes tend to be small so discussion and participation is highly encouraged.

What I lovea bout Westminster is that you can make your experience anything you want it to be. It's a small, friendly campus, yet there is still lots of activities and clubs to participate in. Classes are small and most encourage discussion. The academic requirements are rigorous and geared toward real-life goals, like being profitable after you graduate.

The professors are often very understanding. They do everything they can to help you succeed. They focus more on papers and presentations than exams
