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).

visa may be required as well.
Entry requirements vary from one country to another. The U.S. State
Department issues
