Webster University

Welcome to Webster!

Visits to Webster are arranged on an individual basis, and tailored to your specific needs. To arrange a visit, please fill out our online form.

Although you learn a great deal about Webster University through this web site and our publications, it is impossible to simulate the feeling you will experience when you step foot on one of our campuses.

By sitting in on classes, talking with professors, or just hanging out on campus, you'll get a real sense of whether Webster is right for you.

When should I visit?

The best time to visit Webster is when classes are in session. That means Monday through Friday in either the fall (September through early December) or spring (late January through April).

Summer visits are welcome, but may be more limited in scope. Individual weekend visits are generally not available.

What will I see and do?

Every campus visit is individually planned to meet the needs of each student. Here is a list of possibilities you may want to consider:

• A campus tour
• Meeting with an admission representative
• Sitting in on a class
• Meeting with a faculty member
• Meeting with an athletic coach (St. Louis campus only)
• Attending a campus activity, such as a play, concert, or athletic event

A campus visit may be as short as two hours or as long as a full day, depending on your interests and time availability. Our admission staff will make every effort to accommodate your needs and schedule.

How do I arrange my visit?

If you are planning to visit the St. Louis campus, fill out our online form at least one week prior to the date you wish to visit. You may also call Undergraduate Admissions at 314-968-6991 or 1-800-753-6765 with your request. To visit other Webster campuses, please contact the individual campus you wish to visit.

You can make your visit to Webster an active learning experience by participating fully. Tell us about yourself, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and look around carefully. Before you visit, take some time to prepare some questions you may wish to ask. Please feel free to dress casually, and wear comfortable walking shoes if you plan a campus tour.
