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.

The college was established in 1965 as the New England Aeronautical Institute and was associated with Boire Field, now Nashua Airport.

[15] The 2016–17 academic year at Daniel Webster was not threatened because it used a different accreditor, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

Seniors could graduate from Daniel Webster, while underclassmen had the option of continuing their subsequent years at SNHU.

[3] The main campus was located on 54 acres (22 ha) next to Nashua Airport, comprising three academic buildings, a gymnasium, and an auditorium.

At its height in the NECC, the Daniel Webster Eagles comprised 17 NCAA Division III varsity athletic teams.

Programs for men included baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball.

Women's programs included basketball, cross country, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, and volleyball.

Indoor sports were played at the Mario Vagge Gymnasium, named in honor of the former Nashua mayor who served from 1958 to 1965 and was a college benefactor.

[4] After Xinhua Education Consulting Services acquired the remainder of the campus and buildings in 2018, the company petitioned the New Hampshire Higher Education Commission to continue using the Daniel Webster name, but the Commission rejected two petitions, citing dispute over the ownership of the name.
