Degree Programs.
The University offers degree programs under four primary academic departments:  Business and Technology; International Relations; Media Communications; Psychology and Professional Counseling.  The University offers a broad range of interdisciplinary bachelor options (including combinations of academic majors, minors, and certificates across departments) as well as master's degree and graduate certificate programs.
An integral part of the bachelor experience is the Global Citizenship Program (GCP), a set of requirements that comprise Webster’s version of a liberal arts core, required for all students.  Courses offered by the GCP range across disciplines and build critical competencies that support engaged global citizenship, career success, and lifelong learning.

In addition to its Switzerland-based degree-seeking students, Webster University Geneva welcomes study abroad students from other global Webster campus locations and partner universities.  Study Abroad students pursue courses in either a major discipline or choose electives from the broad array of subjects offered each semester in the GCP.

Research

Our faculty conduct research at the forefront of their disciplines, with an ambitious research initiative aimed at strengthening the university's reputation and contribution to the global academic community.

Service.
Service to the local community is also integral aspect of our local mission and activities.  In addition to various academic conferences throughout the year, we host a wide range of public events for which the broader Geneva community is invited, ranging from cutting-edge business topics to issues at the forefront of world affairs.  The University also supports and encourages the Webster Humanitarian Association, a student-led, registered NGO.

International Network.
For over 100 years, Webster University (St. Louis, USA, since 1915) has served students from around the world in search of a first-class higher education.  Webster University Geneva, the University's first international location, remains the most culturally diverse campus within the Webster worldwide network.  Students who enroll in a Webster degree program have the global Webster network within reach, with the possibility to integrate a study abroad experience either in the U.S., at other campuses in Europe, or beyond.
