Webster University Reviews

"It was a decent college. I went to night classes and the campus locations were convenient for me. The classes were a couple hours long. The teachers had real world experience."

"Going to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. At the same time, every financial problem that I now have stems from many years of college loans. When I sit here and think about it, it's hard for me to say whether going to college was the best thing. Sometimes I feel like maybe had I not gone to college, I would have had a better life than the one I currently live. Maybe I wouldn't argue with myself so much as to whether or not life is even worth living."

"If you are at Ft Leavenworth, look into any other school than Websters. Had an issue and the director, didnt want to deal with it and ignored the situation. Read their policies, there is nothing you can do as the student. They want your money, bottom line, and once they get it, the administration does not care about you."

"After earning my undergraduate degree I took a break, so five years later I decided it was time to pursue my graduate degree. I was extremely nervous, but the admissions and financial aid staff were very helpful. Once I started classes my professors and classmates were very welcoming. I had some tough days because I worked full-time, however my professors challenged and encouraged me and with their support and the support of my family and friends I was able to graduate in a year and a half. The management, human resources and finance for managers courses were challenging, but prepared me for my career in higher education. I strongly recommend Webster University to anyone who desires to further their education."

"I'm one course away from completing my Master's Degree in Management and Leadership at Webster University and am pleased with my experience overall. The leadership process takes place at all levels of an organization and goes in all directions. My classmates bring valuable experiences and insights to the table and have challenged me to think in ways that I would not have in applying the theories. The professors at Webster are skilled at bridging theory with practice to drive the concepts home. Having completed my Undergraduate at a state university that was great with theory but lacking in application, Webster's applied perspective is where the school shines brightly. I've read some of the other reviews on this site from others that got started but did not finish the program. Like all schools, you'll have different takeaways from each class. Having gotten this far into the program this close to graduation, I can say from my experience that this is an excellent school for those who seek a graduate education in Management and Leadership - the learning outcomes that I've received have been leveraged effectively in my world. Listen to those who successfully complete the degree programs as they have credibility. Anyone can quit an endeavor - those who complete the race are the ones that go the distance."

"It's a good college with hands on professors. But tuition cost keeps going up."

"College was one of the most transformational experiences of my life."

"Very good course work. Challenging and was able to develop skills"

"Loved Webster. Classes were small and located close to home."

"It was a satellite campus at a military base. I LOVED my experience there. I have multiple degrees obtained at other universities, but this was by far the best experience I ever had at college!"

"I earned my MBA at a Webster University branch campus in Florida, mostly evening and a few online courses. I completely disagree with many of the negative posts on this site. My employer paid for 50% of my degree, and it only cost about $20,000 total. Many students would borrow a lot more than this, but the tuition costs were right around $20,000. My classes consisted of HR managers, individuals in the finance sector, hospitality, and IT. I even had a Doctor in my class earning an MBA to get a better grip on running their office. My courses were taught by really amazing faculty, and THE STUDENT ONLY GETS OUT WHAT THEY PUT IN! You have to work hard and study to earn your degree. I graduated with a 3.7 GPA and got a promotion at work within three months of completing my degree. A+ customer service at my campus, and the evening face-to-face format worked best for me. Also, I made some really get connections with other professionals! Would I do it all over again? Yes, I certainly would."

"I went to the Orlando University. Most of my classes, on campus and online, were horrible. The professors were past their prime and unable to connect their experiences to current business. Most were so out of it they would ramble on, not teaching, and giving busy work. Since they knew that this was an issue, they always gave ways to cheat the system. Basically, we're too lazy to teach, so we'll give you busy work. If too many start to fail, here is the extra credit to pass. If I was staying in Orlando I would have waited for UCF's Business School Cohort to come back around. Once I relocate I am transferring out. Yes i want to pass, but I am not spending this money to to get an attendance award and not learn."

"This is the worst university that I have every attended. Organizational culture is poorly developed, unprofessional financial aid and academic advising departments. Every process, every year was explained wrong, then it took multiple phone calls and tedious processes to fix the things that were never explained. This university lacks diversity, Corporate location is in St. Louis, that should have been a red flag for me, personally. Rude, unprofessional staff members who lack customer service and customer focus skills. Good professors, a great head of department leader in academic advising. Extensive turn around times for documentations. Redundant curriculum, every class is the same theories, I don't think I learned anything that I didn't learn in undergraduate studies. I should have went to a better school for my time, money and investment, I didn't learn much of anything, besides how rude the staff is. I give this school a 2."

"I attended Webster University from January 2011 to August 2012 at an extension office of the campus. During my courses I felt the instructors were willing to work with students, understood personal lives and took the time to get to know you on a personal basis. You were not just a number at the campus. I felt like the education provided was excellent and prepared me for a job in my field. I would highly recommend this college/campus to anyone. I am currently needing additional courses for licensure in another state and I am using the same college as my satisfaction here was excellent."

"Webster is a very diverse and exceptionally helpful school. The class sizes are small, which allows students access to more one on one time with the professors. The professors are extremely understanding if certain circumstances arise preventing a student from turning in work on time. Advisors are also helpful with any questions a student might have. They help students make a plan for their future and help them reach the goals they are working towards. Overall, I found my experience at Webster to be a very pleasant one. I would recommend this school to students seeking more one on one attention, guidance, and support."

"It's hard to be recognized is a sea of qualified applicants but having Webster University on my resume has set the bar very high to beat me in a job application. The faculty help shape my military background into a tool for me to use in the workforce. Without Webster University I would not be where I am today!"

"Webster University is wonderful for students that have a demanding, full-time job because the teachers, office staff and curriculum will help you to balance your work with your school. This is especially true for students in the military because Webster offers classes on base in the evening which eliminates the commute and provides classes that fit with a military lifestyle."

"I loved my time at Webster University. I got an amazing degree and learned so much from the Human Rights and Political Science Departments. The school atmosphere is great too! I got really active on campus, even when I lived off campus. There is always something fun happening and free food at many of the events."

"Webster University is truly an awful school for a business degree. I enrolled in the Master in Business for 6 courses and it was simply terrible. It started off bad and got progressively worse despite promises that strung you along to buy more courses. As said in the many earlier posts, before these very questionable 5 Star ones that are all written in the same style, Webster University's courses were not university level at all. They are first year college at best which means we should be paying $500 a course not $3000. Websters courses were simply about reading a few chapters and taking a multiple choice test which is unethical. The text books were old, first year ones and not Masters level. Instructors were not Phds at all and had minimal industry experience. Most were desperate to supplement their income and were in sales or low level management roles (not exactly success stories you want to emulate). I saw at least half to of my classmates quit which is a very bad sign. There is no evidence of any investment by Webster in these courses or its programs with no Excel or heavy quants, deep live case studies, or research by staff. I finally called it a day as I witnessed extreme anger by graduates who had no placement whatsoever at the end of their degrees. Not a single company came to campus to hire the grads and complaints were everywhere of the Webster MBA being useless and even laughed at when looking for work like Phoenix degrees. Several new graduates went to classes and the computer rooms on campus to complain about the reception and value of their degrees and for students not to put any more money into these worthless degrees. Extraordinary. Since leaving Websters Walker Business School, I have tried to transfer these courses I paid a huge $3000 each for and NOT A SINGLE decent school will accept them because they are not properly accredited by the AACSB (something Webster never told me about). Webster claims it is fully accredited which is not true as it lacks the vital AACSB. So, Websters business degrees are in reality terminal. As for the many well-publicized scandals and questions about the quality of Webster University, they are demoralizing and have a big impact of people studying there with many quitting or leaving because of them. Webster and its Walker Business school for me are a scam. Keep away and go to a good aascb school that will cost half as much and give you 10 times more benefits at the end."

"Great school I made lots of contacts and I was able to grow professionally. The experience at the college was very interesting and professional. I learned from the knowledge and the networks. I would highly recommend Webster university to anyone who would like to grow and develop professionally"
