More About Our MBA
The MBA is a 12-course sequence, delivered by a combination of research professors and practitioners who are at the forefront of their field in areas ranging from organizational behavior and behavioral finance to strategic management and leadership.
Students can choose to attend with one of two options: Live Virtual (Off-campus) or Face to Face (On-Campus)
The innovative curriculum delivery methods combine online learning weekly through WorldClassroom (Canvas) with three-hour live application and discussion sessions, either face-to-face or virtually for 8 week terms. Class times are adapted to the cohort of students who are currently enrolled. Common options include two weekday evenings from 6pm or Saturdays from 11am with special events/networking also built into the terms. Please contact admissions to discuss your preferences.
Webster offers five such terms per year (Fall 1 and Fall 2, Spring 1 and Spring 2 and one 8-week Summer term).
This allows busy professionals to attend, and for those who may be seeking employment or internships to keep an open daytime schedule.

“I wasn’t a typical business student applicant on paper.”
I have a BA in Rhetoric and had never taken a finance class, but they looked at my
practical experience in addition to my schooling and had the faith in me to let me
prove myself. Studying in Geneva opened my eyes to looking at problems from a bigger
perspective. Having classmates from around the world was truly beneficial because
it blended so many different cultures and personalities, and forced you to learn how
to work together. My internship at Crescendo Capital helped me to apply the knowledge
I had learned in a practical setting and focus on discovering where my skills could
be best used, and developing my plans for the future What I will remember most about
Webster is learning how to push myself outside of my comfort zone, and helping bring
others with me. I studied hard and developed a group of friends that I could bounce
around ideas, or study with, or just talk about everyday life.
