Online Learning at Webster University

In addition to our evening courses on campus, Webster also offers courses online! Webster University's WorldClassRoom offers courses and programs that you can participate in any time of day or night; from anywhere you have a computer with Internet access, such as work, home, or the library. As an online student you will be taught under the same rigorous academic standards as our traditional classroom programs, yet, everything needed to earn a degree or just take a course is online and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. |
Have you filed a petition to graduate?
Don't forget to come by the office and petition to graduate when you register for your last course. Students' graduation dates continually change as they progress through their degree programs, therefore there is no accurate way for the office to track completion dates on every student.
