Thailand

Webster University, Cha-am

WEBSTER UNIVERSITY
Webster University Thailand is part of an international network that includes campuses in London, Leiden, Geneva, Vienna, and Shanghai as well as the home campus in St. Louis, Missouri. Webster's international faculty boasts both academic standing and professional expertise representing 15 different nations. The instructional style is American, the language of instruction is English, but classroom participation is cross-cultural.

CHA-AM
Located a few hours south of Bangkok in the coastal town of Cha-am, Webster University Thailand is the newest addition to the Webster International Network of Campuses. The campus is conveniently located close to the Gulf of Thailand and the resort towns of Cha-am and Hua Hin. Regional sites include Angwor Wat, the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
A complete list of courses offered is available on-line.

COURSE EQUIVALENCIES
 The course equivalencies spreadsheets have been compiled from past approved Academic Plan forms.  They show when the course was last approved and how it transferred back to La Crosse.  You may notice that some classes satisfied several UWL options.

This list is not comprehensive nor does it take the place of  meeting with your advisor for final approval!  They are meant to be a guide of what courses may be appropriate for your studies abroad.

HOUSING AND MEALS
Study abroad students are housed in dormitories off campus. Meals are available in the central campus cafeteria (not included in program fees).

The U.S. State Department issues travel warnings specific to certain countries, and offers tips and publications relevant to travel abroad generally.
