Students meet with an academic advisor in individual counseling sessions. Advisors help students work out an efficient timeline for achieving a degree. Once enrolled, students begin by attending a new student orientation session. Since schedules are flexible, degree programs can be designed to meet the individual student's academic needs and work schedule. Classes are small with no more than 25 students per class.
Students work individually and on group projects.
Directed or Independent study is also available, and internships can be arranged with local associations and corporations. Formal graduation is held yearly at the local campus as well as at the main campus in St. Louis. It is easy to move from an MA to MBA degree selection. Webster offers a sequential degree track where students take an MA then MBA or the reverse and receive both diplomas. There is also a dual core degree where students can work on an MA in two areas simultaneously.
