This needs to be a bit more organized. I will work on this and editing the language a bit...a few too many "many"s for an encyclopedia article. Help with citing sources would be appreciated.
This article is way too biased. Westmont is *not* that great of a school.
one word: organization. This page is totally inaccessible.
- This page reads like a prespective student pamphlet, and is very biased. It also makes no mention of the fact that the UC system by and large will not transfer any religious studies credits.
[edit] Rankings
Re: Westmont is not that great of a school. Then, may I ask, why is it that the factual data (entering GPA, SAT scores, professors with terminal degrees, etc.) would rank it in the top 50 liberal arts colleges in the country?; that quite a few of its students choose it over Stanford, Harvard and other schools?; that an anonymous donor just gave it the fourth largest donation ($75 million) ever given to a college?; that it consistenly ranks at the very top of schools producing students with integrity?; that its applicant pool is growing out of control? Might it be that you haven't investigated the school, don't know its merits, or simply couldn't get in?
Re: Whether or not any of what you said in the last sentence above is true is completely irrelevant to my statement.
To be honest, it does rank very last in that top 50% [1]. :) In terms of academics (breadth of majors, degrees offered, library resources, graduation rate, professors with doctorates) Westmont does not offer as much to the student, particularly given its price, as do other liberal arts universities.
