ACCREDITATION

AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AT THE HEART OF SOUTH-EAST ASIA

At Webster University, the education is American and your campus is the world. While studying at Webster University in Thailand, you will benefit from the University’s global network of campuses and the international perspectives of its academic programs.

Webster University, founded in 1915 with its home campus based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, is the only Tier 1, private, nonprofit university with campus locations around the world including metropolitan, military, online and corporate, as well as American-style traditional campuses in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Webster excels as a teaching university, which means our professors’ first priority is to teach you.

Our advisors’ first priority is to help you get what you’re looking for – even when you don’t know what it is. We will work to develop an individualized learning experience that’s only available at a university where your faculty will know you by name. Through small classes and personal atten- tion, you’ll get what you need to dream big and then follow through on your dreams.

That’s because at Webster University we know it’s you who defines your major, not the other way around.
