What Webster University Geneva says about their program:
Full-time students take two classes per term and graduate in about two years; part-time students take one class per term and typically finish in three to four years. Students can shift between full- and part-time study, fitting the program around their personal and professional schedules.
Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university and demonstrate either relevant prior learning or professional experience. If the student's undergraduate degree is not in psychology, then six prerequisite courses in psychology must be undertaken before beginning the program. English language proficiency must also be documented during the admissions process. Candidates who meet the general criteria will be invited for an interview (in person or by videoconference).

Merit-based Academic Scholarship Awards
Awards range up to 30% of annual full-time tuition per year and are renewable each year
Higher-potential applicants who have demonstrated strong academic performance may be considered for Webster Geneva Campus's Scholars Program track. Typically, the admissions office makes recommendations to the Scholarship Committee, as part of its rolling applications review and decision process. Those whose grade point average (GPA) is about a 3.5/4.0 scale (or its equivalent in other grading systems) have the highest opportunity to earn scholarship support. Students from all nationalities can be considered for scholarships.
Need-based Financial Aid Awards
Awards range up to 30% of tuition, and are renewable each year of the student's enrollment, with some limited conditions.
These grants are awarded in the form of a scholarship based on demonstrated financial need of the student's family. The Financial Aid form requests basic family income information, as well as supporting documents.
