“National liberal arts college famous for Churchill's Iron Curtain speech — International Business focus”
Westminster College is a small private liberal arts college in Fulton, Missouri, and the only National Liberal Arts College in Missouri recognized by U.S. News (#121 National Liberal Arts Colleges, 2026). Founded in 1851, Westminster holds a unique place in world history as the site of Winston Churchill's March 5, 1946 'Sinews of Peace' address — the famous 'Iron Curtain' speech — and is home to America's National Churchill Museum on campus. Westminster's International Business major stands out: all students complete a study abroad experience and graduate proficient in a second language. The college also offers Global and Transnational Studies, International Studies (with concentrations in Cultural Studies, International Politics, and Peace and Justice Studies), and Security Studies. HLC accreditation was reaffirmed in 2025. The college experienced financial difficulties in 2016-2018 but has stabilized; Fall 2024 saw a 30% enrollment increase.
