Our Vision

Integrating Learning and Devotion

Giving students both the spiritual and intellectual resources they need to be effective in every sphere of society.

Transforming Culture

We prepare students to actively engage with culture while remaining firmly rooted in their faith.

Leadership Matters

To thrive and lead in a global and interdependent world, our students need to think critically, communicate clearly and act with integrity.

Our Priorities

Improve Access and Affordability

Colleges face increasing pressure to make the cost of a high-quality education affordable. Westmont seeks to make our distinctive education available to even more students and families by growing scholarship endowments and raising funds through the Westmont Fund.

Scholarships remove barriers and provide opportunity so that promising students bring diverse perspectives to our vibrant community.
