Welcome to Webster University!

Webster University is an Independent Nonprofit Institution with a Century of Time-Tested Results

Established in 1915 by the Sisters of Loretto, who sought to make education accessible to all, Webster has an extraordinary history reflecting a determination to equalize higher education.

Recognizing the growing interconnectedness of our world, for years we have been building an action-oriented global network of faculty, staff, students and alumni who forge powerful bonds with each other and with their communities around the globe. In addition to the main campus in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, Webster’s locations extend across the United States and abroad.
