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.[1] ITT declared bankruptcy in September 2016.[2] It was operated through the 2016–17 academic year by Southern New Hampshire University,[3] after which the college was closed.

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.[4][5] As of early 2022, the campus was unoccupied.
