Daniel Webster College
former university in New Hampshire, U.S
Daniel Webster College (DWC) was a private college in Nashua, New Hampshire, United States. It operated from 1965 through 2017 and had a strong aeronautics focus during much of its history. It was a nonprofit college until 2009, when ITT Educational Services, Inc. bought it and converted it to a for-profit model. ITT declared bankruptcy in September 2016. It was operated through the 2016–17 academic year by Southern New Hampshire University, after which the college was closed. Academic records and transcripts are maintained and available via the New Hampshire Department of Education.
Chinese businessman Sui Liu, doing business as Xinhua Education Consulting Services, acquired the remainder of the campus and buildings for close to $12 million in mid-2018. As of early 2025, some buildings were leased by the unmanned-helicopter firm Rotor and the Northern Cyclones hockey team.
