Our Mission
Webster University's College of Arts & Sciences fosters free and rigorous intellectual
inquiry among students and faculty in an atmosphere that respects differences in background,
belief, and aspiration. We promote the values that ground an open, critically reflective,
culturally diverse, and democratic society, and we prepare students to be active contributors
to such a society.
As part of an international University, we encourage students to expand their horizons
by learning the languages and worldviews of other cultures. We inspire students to
seek the common ground upon which humans create sustainable relationships with each
other and with their wider environment.
Owing to the general and fundamental nature of our various disciplines, we are committed
to providing academic and intellectual support to the entire university.
We include several professional programs, which are guided by contemporary practices,
appropriate accreditation standards, and the best recent scholarly activity.
