If you are thinking of getting any type of Business Degree from Webster University just burn the $40,000 and save wasting a year or two as well! In no way is Webster's MBA a Masters degree- it's just a cheap "version" comprised of high school and community college level courses wrongly sold as Masters level. How hard is it to take your Webster business degree and coursework to a local AASCB school and get it analysed in 2021??? And find out what its quality level really is academically??? There is NO reason today why a person should be taken by the likes of Webster University for an overpriced, worthless, 10th rate, laughable "cheap-copy" MBA or business degree of any kind. Over the last decade, reviews and legitimate rankings instantly let you know where Webster University really stands despite its false promises and claims made.... which is why Webster's B-School has gone from over 20,000 students in 2010 to about 1500 in 2021 and continues to decrease every year. Do your research on what a Webster George Herbert Walker MBA or business degree REALLY is, its REAL worth in the job market, what employers hire them, what scandals and open staff/faculty letters have been written about Webster, and where the school REALLY ranks. Don't listen to Webster's false claims. Of course, there are plenty of fake 4 star reviews, but, there are also plenty of 1 and 2 star ones (like this one) that shed light on Webster University. There are also plenty of negative media and personal stories, financial and academic scandals, open faulty head-letters attacking Webster, as well as published scandals that go back years in the UK, Thailand, the EU/Austria, and the US.
Especially, make sure you only look at legitimate and established BUSINESS SCHOOL RANKINGS such as US News, Times Higher Education(UK), and Forbes when researching Webster or any University. Webster is now trying to bypass its decades of absolute bottom and non-existent business school rankings with "buy me" rankings from questionable websites that are completely worthless and have no value at all in the job or academic markets.
And don't fall for Webster's claim of having a "US News Top 20 Midwest ranking" as this is for the Liberal Arts University as a whole- NOT its MBA or business school. It is misleading as BUSINESS SCHOOLS and MBA's are RANKED SEPRATELY! Importantly, Webster University has NEVER ranked as an MBA in US NEWS against 3,000+ other MBA programs (despite being the USA's largest MBA maker for 3 decades) and ranks only in the bottom .25% as an Online MBA at #324 (the ranking stops at #285!) Can you imagine taking this joke ranking to an employer??? The Bottom of the Bottom! And US News is the gold standard of business rankings!
Webster is simply a money-hungry, profit-first, misleading junk business degree maker. For nearly half the $39,000 I threw away at Webster University for their worthless 12 course Masters business degree (comprised of 1st year community college courses at best), I could have gone to Stanford's 1 year LEAD program ($18,000), Harvard's fantastic Extension's 1 year Masters in Management ($19,000), Cornell's post degree management certificate ($28,000), Wash U's Olin Post Grad program, Jack Welch's MBA, and literally dozens of top-ranked and respected B-School programs that companies actually recruit from and respect. Instead, I and all my classmates have a laughingstock of academic rubbish comprised of (at best) watered-down 1st year community college courses with 40% rehashed material, Webster's useless/laughingstock brand name on par with Phoenix, and zero hire-ability from a scandal-ridden business pretending to be a university. Webster claims 200,000 Alumnae??? Yet, Webster cannot even give you a single job lead or alumnae contact when you graduate??? Not a single company has ever recruited an MBA from Webster University despite so many alumnae and a 50 year history???
And please don't repeat that B.S. about Webster grads being working adults that "DON'T need or want jobs"... as 90% of all MBA's (even mighty Wash U's Olin) are Working Adults that companies WANT TO HIRE and who are sought after!!! With Webster University's 5 decades in business, "a global campus network" (prisons, shopping malls and military bases), 200k of alumnae, and all those working "experienced" adults, Fortune 500 recruiters would be fighting to get to Webster's Career Centre to hire its "Working & Experienced Adults" if the degree were even marginally good! And not blacklisting graduates with a Webster B degree like they are poison! Stay away from Webster University's MBA and B School... it's a worthless scam in my opinion.
The courses were a joke, required little work to get straight A's, and it's painfully obvious this school (at least for post graduate masters degrees) only cares about money made as easily as possible! The Webster formula is simple "put no cash or academic standards into its degrees (I use the word loosely) read more
