Welcome to Fort Smith, an exciting city that uniquely combines the history of the wild and wooly "Old West" with the gentle charm of the antebellum "Old South." Fort Smith offers travelers and citizens of all ages glimpses into its distinctive past through restorations, attractions, museums, and festivals that make its history fun and exciting. Now an energetic city of 80,000 people, Fort Smith is known for accommodating visitors with a blend of "southern hospitality" and "western openness"—anxious to share its past while yet busily planning for the future.

The Fort Smith campus was established in 1989 on Fort Chaffee to offer graduate level classes to military personnel with the Joint Readiness Training Center. Very soon thereafter, the military relocated these personnel to Louisiana. In 1991, Webster University made the decision to retain the program in the Fort Smith area due to the civilian enrollment. We offer the Master of Arts in Human Resources Management, the Master of Arts in Information Technology management and the ever popular Master of Business Administration.

The site is now located at 801 Carnall Avenue in the lower level of the old Fort Smith Library, now a part of the Convention Center Annex. The Fort Smith Metropolitan Campus remains open to the community and military personnel.
