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.
