About This School
Webster University is a private nonprofit institution located in Saint Louis, Missouri with approximately 2,180 undergraduate students enrolled. Webster University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 58%. The average net price after financial aid is $26,196 per year. The graduation rate is 61%, and the typical graduate earns $47,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
Webster University is a private university with its main campus in Webster Groves, Missouri, United States. It has multiple branch locations across the United States and countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The university has an alumni network of around 170,000 graduates worldwide.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 61% graduation rate means nearly 4 in 10 students don't finish, and median earnings of $47,900 a decade out are modest, though the relatively low median debt of $18,500 softens that concern somewhat. That said, the $26,196 average net price and a genuinely international footprint — with campuses across Europe, Asia, and Africa — make it worth a serious look for students drawn to global programs like media, music, or international relations. Best fit for a motivated student who has a clear academic direction and won't need the structure of a larger university to stay on track.
