Webster Ranked Best for Vets for 14th Consecutive Year
November 11, 2026

The Military Times magazine named Webster University in its annual Best for Vets list for the 14th consecutive year. The magazine named 370 colleges and universities on its annual list. Webster was ranked #252, up 11 spots from last year. Webster was also named as one of only 11 institutions in Missouri to be named to the list.
The Best for Vets list is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that help make colleges and universities a good fit for service members, military veterans and their families.
The annual survey asks colleges and universities to meticulously document a tremendous array of services, special rules, accommodations and financial incentives offered to students with military ties; and to describe many aspects of veteran culture on a campus. These institutions were evaluated in several categories, with university culture and academic outcomes bearing the most weight.
Military Times also factors in data from the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments, as well as three Education Department sources: the IPEDS Data Center, College Scorecard data and the Cohort Default Rate Database. For its survey methodology, visit the Military Times website.
