Westminster College occupies a historic campus in Fulton, Missouri, located approximately 100 miles west of St. Louis. The liberal arts institution, founded in 1851, is notable as the site of Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946, which is commemorated by the National Churchill Museum and a reconstructed section of the Berlin Wall on campus. The college's neo-Gothic architecture includes several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with Westminster Hall serving as the campus centerpiece. While offering programs across the liberal arts and sciences, Westminster is particularly recognized for its political science, business, and international studies programs, reflecting its historical connection to global affairs. The residential campus houses most students in traditional dormitories and Greek housing, maintaining a small college environment typical of private Midwestern liberal arts institutions.
