Webster University’s online courses spring from the University's tradition of academic excellence and innovation. Courses are taught by the same distinguished faculty who teach our traditional classes and adhere to the same rigorous academic standards.
The asynchronous format of Webster’s online courses allows you to complete weekly assignments and communicate with your instructor and classmates at times that are convenient for you. Most graduate courses are taught in 9 week terms with five different start dates: August, October, January, March and May. MAT courses are taught in 8 and 16 week terms and undergraduate courses are taught in 8 week terms. No campus visit is required.
