"Having received my undergrad from a University of 25,000 students, I was looking for a smaller, more intimate, campus to complete my MBA. Not only was Webster University-London a perfect fit size-wise, as it provides a family/community feeling, but the campus also offers a professional program, which was important to me with the MBA program.  Webster’s faculty members are out in the real world practicing what they teach; they are not solely academics with their heads stuck in their research with little to no idea of the challenges managers and employees are facing in everyday life."
