Frequently Asked Questions

Webster University is a private, non-profit university, based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Our campuses are found in USA, Europe, Asia and Africa. Each campus offers the experience of American education.
Webster University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. All Webster campuses have American accreditation. The Ghana Campus is also accredited by the Ghana National Accreditation Board.

The length of your Bachelor’s degree program depends on the curriculum you complete. If you have passed the West African Senior School Certificate Examination or have a Senior High School Diploma, it takes 4 years for you to earn a Bachelor's degree. If you have successfully completed your A-levels or IB, then you will be given advanced placement, which shortens the length of the Bachelor's degree by up to one academic year.

All courses are taught in the evenings, which is ideal for working professionals. A full-time student will complete the Master's degree in 6 terms (roughly 16 months). However, students have the choice to take the courses part-time and earn a degree over a longer period (usually 2-3 years). If you have already completed a Master's degree in any discipline you can earn the MBA or MA in 9 or 10 courses, instead of 12 which saves you time and money. On the other hand, if you have little or no background in business administration, you may have to take 1-3 pre-requisite courses at Webster (Ghana) to complete the MBA.

Applying to Webster University Ghana Campus is possible at any time of the year. Fall 1 (August), Fall 2 (October), Spring 1 (January) and Summer (May) are the start dates for undergraduate studies.
