Overview

At UWest, we believe in educating the whole person. We were founded in 1991 as an alternative to the conventional university experience, integrating liberal arts traditions with a global perspective and drawing from Buddhist wisdom to create a community of scholarships, service, and collaboration. Our small, peaceful campus provides an intimate setting where mindfulness and contemplation are more than just buzzwords. Our graduates meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and globally interdependent world with creativity and compassion.
