Webster University

About the university

The extraordinary history of Webster University, which was founded in 1915 by the Loretto Sisters with the goal of making higher education more accessible to all, can be traced back to that same commitment to racial equality.

The growing interconnectedness of our world has prompted us to spend the last four decades creating a global network of engaged academics and alumni who work together to create meaningful connections in their local communities and beyond.

We currently serve more than 10,000 students in 50 locations across the United States, the United Kingdom, and abroad.
