May Term at Westminster - Learn What You Love!

May Term is Westminster's intensive semester: a month of offbeat and inspiring classes, laid-back trips around Utah and adventures outside of the U.S. After a year of hitting the books, May Term is a truly unique experience taking you outside of the classroom and leading you to discoveries about yourself and the world. And the best part is it's free. Payment of full-time tuition for Fall Semester 2008 earns two free hours for May Term 2009. Payment of full-time tuition for Spring Semester 2009 earns two free hours for May Term 2009.
