Webster University occupies suburban Saint Louis, MO — a private campus quieter than a downtown one, closer to one than a rural seat. International students are a visible presence here — 17.4% of undergraduates come from outside the U.S.
Its highest-earning path is Computer Science, where graduates median $66,113 four years out. Faculty pay averages $110,616 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. With 2,304 undergraduates and a residential core, weekends happen on campus — and 68.7% of first-years come back for a second year.
Submitters admitted here typically landed between 1006 and 1233 — near the MO middle for four-year schools. Put your own practice estimate on Webster University's range with the SAT calculator, or bring a saved GPA from the grade tools.
Admissions
Scores help here but aren't the gate. If your SAT sits inside the 1006–1233 submitter range, sending it likely helps; below it, Webster University's own policy says you can leave it out.
