Webster University Ghana: A Global Experience

The focus of institutions of higher learning is fast shifting from simply developing the knowledge base of students to the provisions of a well-rounded student-learning experience. Webster University Ghana, the only international campus location of Webster University on the African continent, is uniquely positioned to provide this opportunity.

A thriving liberal arts school and worldwide institution, Webster University’s mission is to ensure a high-quality learning experience that transforms students for global citizenship and individual excellence. Since the doors of Webster University Ghana were opened in 2014, students from across the world have enrolled at Webster Ghana each year and have benefitted from the cultural diversity and enriching academic environment. The modern campus, which has residential accommodations – is centrally located in Ghana’s capital Accra and in the much-coveted neighborhood of East Legon.

Currently, Webster University Ghana has enrolled both undergraduate and graduate students from over 25 different countries, spanning four continents. Furthermore, Webster receives a rotation of international visiting faculty every few weeks to teach students in both the graduate and undergraduate programs.

The university’s Ghana campus offers a growing number of undergraduate majors, an Africana studies minor, and on the graduate side, a Master’s of Business Administration as well as an MA in International Relations. Graduate classes are held in the evenings and weekends only, to allow working professionals to continue work while pursuing a graduate degree.

Webster University Ghana offers a practical, hands-on approach to learning with small classrooms, not exceeding 25 students per space. Students are exposed to new ways of thinking and encouraged to strengthen their critical-thinking skills through ongoing debates both inside and outside of the classroom setting. Webster Ghana alumni are also part of the larger, elite network of over 190,000 alumni worldwide.

Webster Ghana is accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) of Ghana and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) in the United States (US). All students receive a degree issued from the US and, regardless of specific degree area, follow the same curriculum worldwide.

The home campus in St Louis, Missouri, has an impressive track record of over 105 years of providing high-quality American education. Scholarships are also available for students and the Ghana campus is fortunate to have a lower tuition rate than the other international campuses where Webster has presence.

Webster University provides the opportunity for students to also study abroad during their course of study. Students may elect to study abroad for a nine-week term, semester or an entire academic year at any of Webster University’s international campuses. The current international campuses outside Ghana include Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, US, Thailand, China, Greece, the UK, and Uzbekistan. Webster also provides the World Traveler program which provides a free plane ticket to a campus of your choice!

Unlike most universities with only an August year start, Webster has 5 enrollment periods per year, allowing flexible start dates. Prospective students can apply at any time during the year and begin in August, October, January, March, and May. Learn More
