How to Apply to Programs with Additional Applications
Several programs at Westminster University require an extra application or audition
for admittance. The first step for any of these programs is to complete your Westminster
University application. Once you submit your application, you can apply for these
additional programs:
Honors College
The Honors College at Westminster requires an additional application and essay for admittance. Interviews are offered for interested applicants.
Nursing
Westminster offers 3 pathways for entrance into its competitive nursing program: direct-entry for first-year students, transfer admissions, and lateral entry for currently enrolled students. Additional application materials are required.
Performing Arts
You must audition for a performing arts scholarship or to declare a major in music. In-person and virtual audition options are available. If you’re interested in majoring in theatre or dance or are interested in music as a minor or as a participant, you may do so without an audition.
Equal Access
Westminster University administers all of its educational programs, related support services, and benefits in a manner that does not discriminate against students or prospective students with regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, or a person’s status as a veteran.
The university is committed to providing equal access for people with disabilities in its programs, services, facilities, and activities. Call Student Disability Services at 801.832.2272 if you are seeking admission information in an alternative format or if you need other accommodations.
