Webster University has a rich history. Beginning in 1915 as a small college, originally named Loretto College, the school was one of the first Catholic women’s colleges west of the Mississippi River. It was progressive for its time, providing higher education to women when it was not generally made available. The Webster of today operates as a comprehensive, innovative institution of higher education boasting more than 22,000 students at its worldwide campuses and more than 130,000 alumni. And although the university operates more than 100 locations around the world, the home campus of Webster University remains its largest in student population and physical size. More than 7,250 students study at the 47-acre campus in Webster Groves, Mo.
