Webster University's home campus is located in Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis. The university maintains nearly 100 campuses across the U.S. and abroad. Many of the domestic campuses are located near military bases; some are located in various metropolitan areas. The international campuses are located in several European countries including Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands; several are also located in Asia, such as in Thailand and China. Webster has also begun the process of opening its first campus in Africa in Accra, Ghana.

In addition to its own international campuses, Webster has also formed partnerships with a few universities that are based in the country of interest. For example, The Webster Graduate School is tied with Regent's College in London; and Webster maintains a relationship with Kansai University in Osaka, Japan and with The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Because of the nature of the Webster system worldwide, it is relatively easy for Webster students to study at different campuses. Some students elect to study abroad for an entire semester (16 weeks) at a single campus, or to move to a new campus after a single term (8 weeks). There are also short-term programs to locations that may not be tied to Webster permanently; often, these programs are faculty-led. Also, Webster maintains affiliations with over two dozen American universities that allows students of the affiliate universities to study abroad on international Webster campuses.

Webster University has recently established graduate degree programs that take advantage of the international network of campuses. While enrolled in these programs, students travel between campuses and take classes at each for a short duration of approximately 9 weeks. The Global MBA and the Global M.A. in International Relations are the two extant programs.
