Westminster College

Founded in 1875, Westminster College is a nationally recognized, private comprehensive liberal arts college (the only one in Utah!). We offer a broad array of undergraduate and graduate programs with more than 70 academic programs to choose from. Our unique environment for learning prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences, and our vibrant campus community. Our location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience.

Westminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt lake City.

Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945. In 1902, college trustees adopted the new name, Westminster. Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences.

Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West’s educational needs as it has since 1875.
