About

Webster University, a worldwide institution, ensures high-quality learning experiences that transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence. In 1915, the Sisters of Loretto had a bold vision - to establish a university that would admit and educate only women. Opening with five students, the institution’s first graduating class totaled just two women. Today Webster’s main campus looks quite different than it did more than a century ago - and even different from when it was renamed Webster University in 1983.

Webster’s San Antonio Metro campus is located inside of a popular commercial building and offers a stunning view of downtown San Antonio from its classrooms. The campus is ideal for graduate degree programs. It includes classrooms, breakout rooms, office spaces, and a student lounge.
