Webster Geneva offers a range of cultural studies courses that use the unique lens of Switzerland to focus on business ethics, geopolitical practice, language and identity, and technology and innovation. Students interested in Humanities, Communications, Social Sciences, Business, and Technology will find that Webster Geneva offers many relevant courses.
All courses are 3 credit hours unless otherwise indicated. Most students enroll in 15-18 credits for the entire semester, but must register for a minimum of 6 credit hours per term or 12 credit hours for the semester.
Webster Geneva has a broad offering of courses from upper-level courses in business, humanities, computer science, and language to Swiss-focused courses designed to explore the country and its culture.
Webster Geneva offers both semester courses and courses offered for Term 1 or 2 (each eight weeks). Students enroll in semester-long courses or courses per term to complete an entire course schedule. Course enrollment does not have to be divided evenly between terms, with the option to take more courses in one term depending on availability and academic discipline.
Courses generally meet 2 days per week with Fridays usually designated for curricular and co-curricular excursions throughout Switzerland.
Webster Geneva Signature Courses are thoughtfully curated for visiting students to get the most out of their experience in Switzerland. Signature Courses are offered for the semester or for the term only, and they are designed as interdisciplinary to examine Swiss culture, history, and society from multiple perspectives. Each course has co-curricular opportunities built in such as trips, conferences, guest speakers, and museum visits.
Broader course offerings are available from Webster University’s College of Humanities and Social Science, College of Science and Health, School of Business and Technology, and School of Communications. These courses allow students to continue their degree paths by enrolling in upper-level courses in their major. Students will be in the classroom with Swiss and other international students earning their university degree in Geneva.
