Webster University Reviews

"Great school. Small classes and great staff the students were a close knit of students who had desire,dedication and humbleness! The teachers were compassionate and very knowledgeable in their field ! The faculty went out of their way to help the students they motivated us to succed!"

"I wish I had never gone to this college. Classes were cancelled last minute after they were paid for and books were bought multiple times. I was a Legal Studies major, and the classes themselves in this department are severely lacking any substance. Every single class, a professor droned on and quoted, verbatim, a PowerPoint presentation. I learned virtually nothing; I felt that I paid for the privilege of getting a paper degree but did not get any real knowledge. The Legal Studies academic office is so disorganized and nobody there can do anything to help you if you have an issue. I was supposed to have a certain number of core classes that I was required to take before graduating, but three of those classes were either cancelled multiple times due to low enrollment, or they were offered at the same time as each other so I could only take one at a time. Webster's solution to this was for me to substitute a non-legal course for one of these important legal courses, leaving me with no ability to learn that class material. To rub salt in the wounds, some incompetent person decided it would be a great idea to hold a graduation ceremony at an outdoor venue with no inclement weather plans. I had to sit in the rain for hours with no umbrella to be able to walk and get my degree, and most of my family ended up not being able to see me graduate because they got pushed away due to the rain. I would NEVER recommend this college to anyone. Beware!"

"Webster was not ideal for science courses. Pick a school based on their level of expertise in that field rather than who goes there. It sounds dumb, but paying for a mediocre education wasn't worth living near friends."

"I had been working in my field for about 7 years and I decided if I wanted to get ahead I needed to get an advanced degree. I didn't want to do the online thing and Webster happen to have a campus close to my home with a major that I was interested in. I didn't fit the typical mold of a person getting a degree from this university. Almost everyone else in my program was either a member of the military or a civilan employee. There were a few contractors who did work for the air force, but I think I was the only one who was employeed in the private industry. I mostly chose Webster university because of the program, tution and closeness of the campus to my home. I have heard a few people bad mouth Webster and say it is a diploma mill. But nothing could be further from the truth and I think those type of reviews are from people who took out mega loans and either didn't graduate or just failed out of their classes. They want something without working hard for it. To me, it was hard, but some of the instructors seemed to be too military focused and it was probably because of where there background was at. Although, given the background of most the students in my classes, it was probably appropriate. I was still pleased with the school and felt I got my moneys worth. Am I glad I got my degree at Webster? Yes sir! The tution was much less at Webster than I found at other Universites, the quality of education was good, and I was able to take classes at night instead of during the day when I needed to be at work. They also had a brick and mortor campus within a reasonable distance of my home. Within 3 months of graduating I got a job with a fortune 100 company making over 6 figures. Would I do it again? Absolutely. I think it is what you make of it."

"The graduate program is a well rounded program. The courses are beneficial and fit the career industry."

"For me the pros of this graduate program are that it works will with my work schedule. I am able to maintain a full-time job and attend my graduate classes at night during the week. Therefore, I am able to continue supporting myself and pay my bills. Also, the classes are broken down into nine week terms rather than the traditional 16-18 week semester."

"I attend Webster University's off-campus locations. I take their off-campus classes at both Andrews Air Force Base and Boiling Air Force Base. I love the fact that even though I don't take classes at their home/main campus, I still get the in-class experience that I love. There are a lot of graduate programs that offer online classes which is fine, but Webster delivers an educational experience that fits well with the way I personal like to learn. The best part is that, I still have access to all the main campus's resources. That speaks volumes to the type of effort and quality Webster puts into all their programs. Webster’s programs are not overly priced like most grad school programs. I am only 23 years old and I could afford other grad school programs without having to ad to my current student loan bill. I am able to work full time and pay for my classes out of pocket. Even though my parents are willing to help pay, I want to prove to myself that I can de independent and stand on my own. Every teacher I have had so far are very passionate about the class they teach, are willing to go the extra mile to make sure all the concepts are understood by all their students. I honestly have nothing bad to say about Webster. I am excited that I will graduate with my MBA. I know that the skills and assets that I learned will make me a superior worker and soon to be boss/manager."

"The Webster Counseling program is excellent. It has prepared me well and I cannot wait to graduate and apply the knowledge I have gained. The professors really care and have experience to share with us as they have all worked in the industry before becoming professors."

"I believe the school is great. They have accommodated me as I try to balance work, school, and family. The administrators have been very helpful."

"The willingness to assist me while I enter my first year of graduate school. My expectations were set high being that I came from a Big Ten school. The Webster staff have been more than helpful as I proceed through my process of obtaining my master's degree. I have not encountered any cons about this graduate program."

"I've really enjoyed the learning at Webster. All the professors are quality and have been in the profession and really know what they're talking about and more importantly, how to teach what they've learned throughout the years in way that's relatable and impactful."

"Webster is a good school; most professors are good; the administration could use some improving."

"I have nothing but positive to say about my experience (Denver Campus). The professors are knowledgeable in their field and the staff is extremely helpful and responsive. The class sizes are small and the amount of interaction with the professor is the best I've ever had in my college career without a doubt. I have recently moved on to a new position in my company and my degree at Webster was part of the reason."

"Pros: This school is a military friendly school. They offer discounted rates for active duty, veterans and DOD civilians. Very diverse population in classes. The faculty are well rounded, willing to provide any additional assistance. Cons: The discounts provided do not apply to online classes unless the student is active duty."

"Webster University has the best instructors and the coursework really challenges you as a student. The real life applications are very valuable. I am very happy to be a student at Webster!!"

"The pros are the fact that I am getting a great affordable graduate degree from a great university with a wonderful faculty. The cons are their use of technology could be a little better"

"This is the program for you if you don't want a heavy case load. Professors bring real world experience to the classroom. Campus director is very strict. Columbia campus is predominately African-american."

"Webster is a military graduate program, the academic side is great but because it is not a real campus I do miss the college feel it. Receiving the military rate is still well worth going to Webster."

"Webster University has absolutely wonderful teachers/professors in the Education department at the graduate level. They are top notch, knowledgeable, helpful and caring. The administrators and advisors are also fabulous. The education curriculum is exciting and very relevant to today's teaching needs."

"Webster graduate program is awesome. The faculity challenges us with various projects and studies that helps to develop us as counselors. I enjoy the classroom atmosphere and the opportunity to network with other in the came careerfield. The program is military friendly and takes into consideration that most of its students are adults with families. The faculity is always available and are sensitive to the needs of the students. They are very professional and very helpful. I'm so appreciative of the assistance that I have recieved from my professors, the staff and my peers. This is a great experience!"
