Westminster College´s small classes and low student-to-faculty ratios offer our students the best opportunity for active class participation as well as engaging discussions with their professors. Since students are mainstreamed throughout the rigorous curriculum of the college, however, it is imperative that they come to Westminster with a solid college preparatory background. Candidates for admission should have successfully completed four units of English, mathematics through Algebra II, three units of natural science, and three units of social science. A majority of electives should be in academic subjects.
Applicants for admission to the Learning Disabilities Program should submit the following credentials:
1. A completed application to the Learning Disabilities Program, including four teacher recommendations. (Forms are part of the application packet, and should be completed by secondary school teachers in "core" subjects and by any educational specialists (resource room teacher, tutor) involved with the student;
2. One recent official high school transcript;
3. Scores from either the American College Testing (ACT) assessment program or the Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Applicants should take these tests untimed.
4. Recent and complete reports from psychologists, school counselors, and/or learning specialists who have diagnosed the applicant's disability.
Once all application credentials have been received by the Office of Enrollment Services, students will be notified if they have been selected for a campus interview. All applicants for admission must be interviewed by the Program's staff. Additional assessments will be performed at this time. Acceptance into the program is on a first-come basis.
