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 that tuition is free (you just pay the trip expenses.) Payment of full-time tuition for Fall Semester 2012 earns two free hours for May Term 2013. Payment of full-time tuition for Spring Semester 2013 earns two free hours for May Term 2013.
