Westminster’s Board of Trustees has voted to transition from college to university. The college will be known as Westminster University beginning Fall 2023. During its nearly 150-year history, Westminster has had various names as its academic offerings evolved.

Westminster has grown from a small college preparatory academy in 1875, to a junior college, and then a four-year baccalaureate institution in 1949. Since then, the college has grown in size, stature, activities and academic offerings. University accurately describes what Westminster offers, how we are structured, and the core values that guide us.
