Notes about fees for this course

Rates for the Academic Year 2024-2025:

Webster's graduate courses run in eight-week terms (Fall 1, Fall 2, Spring 1, Spring 2, and Summer). Each term is invoiced individually.

Tuition for standard graduate courses is charged CHF 1,100 per credit hour, with most courses equivalent to 3 credits, as follows:

One course (3 credits, studying one night per week for eight weeks): CHF 3,300
Two courses (6 credits, studying two nights per week for eight weeks): CHF 6,600

Students are invoiced for each term individually, as they register for their next set of courses. Tuition payments are typically due by the Friday of Week 1 of each term (see below).

Reasonable Payment Terms

Webster Geneva Campus does not charge the full program tuition in advance. However, those who will require a student visa to attend Webster Geneva Campus (non-Swiss; non-EU; non-residents) will have to demonstrate sufficient funding to the Swiss consulate in advance of their studies. The Swiss consulates typically recommend pre-paying two full-time terms in advance.

The standard pace of study is two nights per week. At that pace, a 36-credit degree can be completed in about 14-16 months, including the Summer term (or 18 months, if excluding the optional Summer evening courses).

Tuition Inclusions

Tuition includes all required textbooks and/or electronic materials, online library access and Webster email, career services support, access to campus facilities (including fitness center, etc.), and a range of University-sponsored student activities and career-related events. Tuition does not include additional travel, personal technology/media equipment, accommodations, meals or personal expenses.

One in four master's degree students receive some need-based financial aid support.

Entry requirements

Eligibility:

You may be considered for admission to a master program, as per the criteria below, if you hold a bachelor degree from a qualifying institution of higher education (if you are currently completing your studies, a provisional admission may be offered, on the condition that you successfully complete that degree program before beginning your Webster studies).

The accreditation status of your current or prior university (or equivalent institution of higher education) will determine if Webster considers you as an eligible candidate for the admissions process. In particular, we consider diplomas awarded by universities that carry institutional accreditation from a respective national authority that is responsible to grant university-level status. Generally, degrees from public universities and private universities that have comparable recognition from the Ministry of Education (or nationally-authorized accrediting agency) will qualify.

If you are unsure about the eligibility of your bachelor's qualification at the beginning of your search or application process, please reach us at [email protected].

Regarding the Evaluation of your Application

Each application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

The general guidelines for admission to Webster Geneva Campus are as follows:

A minimum grade point average (GPA) of about a 2.5 on a 4 point scale, or its equivalent in other grading systems (academic achievement in programs that use a grading or assessment scale other than a 4.0 is evaluated in the context of the relevant academic system). Exceptions are made by the committee when considering a holistic look at the candidate's situation, motivation and commitment — yet also some demonstration of success at Webster. In such cases, admission is offered with certain conditions and additional advising services are made available, to encourage early success at the university.
Demonstrated English proficiency that meets the university criteria for graduate-level studies.
Evidence of your overall potential to be successful at Webster University. As we review your application materials, primary consideration is given to your academic performance, the rigor and content of your coursework and your documented English language proficiency. Yet we also consider your motivation, commitment and readiness for higher studies and/or professional life to be a very important part of our decision process. For those whose prior university experience is more recent, we pay closer attention to the individual courses and academic performance; for those who bring more significant professional experience and career maturity, the relevance of the degree program with the individual's career path, professional objectives and personal motivation weigh more strongly.
Additional Criteria (exceptions to the above): Individual program requirements:
- Admission to the MA in Counseling requires a recommendation for admission by the program director, following an admissions interview, and enrollment may be contingent upon meeting/completing specific prerequisite courses.
- Admission to the MBA may include prerequisite course(s), dependent on prior degree studies and/or the intended start date.
