Westminster’s School of Arts and Sciences empowers you to explore different ways of understanding and changing the world around you through programs in which you’ll take charge of your education and define your career goals and how to meet them. Through experiential learning, community engagement, hands-on research, internships, and other educational opportunities, you will be prepared to be a life-long learner. Your program curriculum will challenge you to become a critical thinker, a better communicator, and an engaged citizen that draws from multiple fields—STEM disciplines, the humanities, the fine and performing arts—to make informed decisions and address complex problems.

Undergraduate Programs

The School of Arts and Sciences offers academic programs in the fine and performing arts, the social and behavioral sciences, the physical and natural sciences, and mathematics and computer science.
