Webster University has provided outstanding graduate education to South Carolina since the mid-1970s, when we opened our Charleston Metropolitan Campus and Joint Base Charleston Campus. The rapid growth of these programs soon led to the creation of campuses in Beaufort, Columbia, Fort Jackson, Myrtle Beach, Parris Island, and Greenville. In 2003, we reaffirmed our commitment to serving the region's higher education needs with the opening of our Shaw Air Force Base Campus.

Today, Webster University continues to prepare students for the global challenges of the twenty-first century. The stimulating and rigorous learning environment at our Charleston Metropolitan Campus is ideally suited to working professionals from area businesses, industries, and government organizations. The campus features modern classrooms, resource facilities, and a state-of-the-art computer lab.
