Innovative. Comprehensive. Fresh. Resourceful. Respected. Local. Global. There’s no one way to view Webster University.
These qualities are what equipped Webster to become one of the first colleges to offer programs specifically for the working adult in the 1970s. Webster’s innovative spirit continues today, as the University is always pioneering better ways to serve today’s degree-seeking students.
The school — founded in 1915 on the principle of providing a higher education to those who might not possess the opportunity to obtain one — today operates as a private, nonprofit, accredited university offered undergraduate and graduate education at more than 100 campus locations throughout the United States and across the globe.
Real-World Knowledge. Global Perspective.
Webster is a unique educational environment — blending the conveniences of a small university with the opportunities of a large one. Our faculty bring real-world experience into the class room and incorporate an international perspective that reflects today’s fast-changing world.
Students can choose from programs in the schools of business and technology, communications or education; or select majors in the colleges of fine arts or arts and sciences. They can study in the U.S., Austria, China, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Thailand. It’s all a part of the Webster experience.
Currently the university enrolls about 22,000 students around the globe who range from traditional college-age students to adult learners. They represent more than 100 nationalities.
