Westminster College is proud to host a diverse group of exchange students each year on our campus. In small-town, mid-America, we offer a unique perspective on our liberal arts campus to students from many different countries and cultures. We have exchange students from England, France, South Korea, and Japan. Exchange students are international students who come to the Westminster College for a semester or academic year from one of our reciprocal exchange partner universities. Exchange students come to WC on F-1 student visas and pay tuition at their home universities. Our students study various majors including Psychology, Political Science, Mathematics, Global and Transnational Studies and much more!
