Counselling practice
The program gives you more practical experience than other schools which is helpful for counselling. There was less focus on the classwork and more about personal growth and comfort as a counsellor. Some proffessors were really helpful while others were less so. Overall, I think it will help me with counsellong moving forward
Psychology (MA) Student
Very good programs and practical experiences. It helped me get a better understanding and view of what would being a therapist later on be like. They provided us with the information we needed for after graduation when asked. Some departmentments are still lacking but overall itbis worth it. The tuition fees are more pricey since it is a private university and also because it is a 2 year program.
Good learning environment
For students who value small class sizes, personalized attention, and global study opportunities, Webster university provides a supportive learning environment. Because the university's primary strength lies in liberal arts and business, its resources, facilities, and faculty expertise in biomedical sciences may not be like other institutions with dedicated STEM programs.
