Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

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.

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

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

excellent, good professors, plenty of opportunities to network
