Transfer to a Bright Future at Webster University!

If you are considering transferring, consider this: You’ll feel right at home at Webster!

Each year, hundreds of students transfer to Webster from colleges and universities around the globe.

Why? Because we make transferring easy.

We understand the needs of a transfer student - just like you; since more than half of our undergraduate students enter Webster as transfer students. We will do everything we can to help you make a smooth transfer to build upon the academic foundation you have already begun.

One way we make it easy is through the strong relationships we have built over the years with area community colleges. When you've completed a course at one of our partner schools, it will more than likely count towards finishing your bachelor's degree at Webster!

If you are not sure whether or not we will accept your credits earned at another institution, you may request a free estimated evaluation of your transfer credit and remaining requirements from the Office of Admission.

A cumulative GPA on all college level coursework of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale is preferred; however, each applicant is given individual consideration. If you have circumstances, which might affect your admission, they may be discussed confidentially with a member of the admissions staff. The University operates on rolling admission, and application files are reviewed by Admissions as soon as all requested credentials have been received.
