Webster University Ranked High
Webster University Named to Top Tier
Universities in Midwest
According to the 2008 America's Best Colleges edition
of U.S. News & World Report, Webster
University achieved a high ranking. We are assigned to
the "Universities-Masters" category which is composed of
comprehensive institutions that provide a full range of
undergraduate and masters programs. There are 557 universities in
our category and each is ranked in one of four tiers within each
area - North, South, Midwest and West. Webster ranks 26th in "Best
Universities" (comprehensive/regional) which puts us firmly in the
top tier.
The ranking criteria included but were not exclusive to peer
assessment, average retention rate, average graduation rate, class
percentage, student/faculty ratio, and acceptance rate.
Another section of the publication lists schools with
outstanding examples of academic programs that are believed to lead
to student success. Higher education experts identified eight types
of “distinctive” programs for the section and U.S. News &
World Report invited college presidents, chief academic
officers and deans of students to nominate up to ten institutions
with “stellar examples of each program type.”
Webster University has been awarded with a distinction in the
Study Abroad category. This is due to Webster University
having campuses located in St. Louis (USA), Geneva, Vienna, London,
Leiden, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu (China), Cha-am (Thailand)
and Osaka (Japan), which give students the opportunity to study
abroad while pursuing the same degree
programme.
You can be confident that a degree from Regent's American
College London is recognised for it’s academic rigueur and standing
around the world.
