Asynchronous online courses allow you to work from any location, at times that are convenient to you. All course content is accessed through WorldClassRoom. Courses replicate the Webster classroom experience in a fully online format, providing interaction between faculty and students without requiring a specific class meeting time.
Webster’s Live Virtual programs provide students with the best of the online and classroom experience. In Live Virtual classes, a portion of your work will be completed online, and each week you will have a class meeting with your professor and classmates via teleconferencing software. Live Virtual is ideal for students who appreciate the self-management aspects of traditional online classes, but also want opportunities for real-time interaction and discussion with their professor.
Webster University Online Provides Convenient Learning to Fit Your Individual Needs
For more than 100 years, Webster has provided our students with the tools, resources and skills necessary to become experts in their chosen career fields. In 1999, we launched our first online program, in direct response to student needs. As lives became busier and schedules less predictable, many of our students were seeking the flexibility of online learning … and we were prepared to provide it.
