About the course

A US-style business degree taught in English in small in-person classes, covering core business principles with case studies and practical projects. Students can add an emphasis in Cybersecurity Operations, International Business, Marketing, or Sports and Entertainment Management.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Webster Geneva does not list the Irish Leaving Certificate by name; it asks for transcripts covering the last three years of school (so Transition Year/5th Year and 6th Year results) and a minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent. Ask admissions how your Leaving Cert grades are converted and whether any advanced standing credit is given.
  • No entrance test or interview is listed. SAT/ACT is optional. You need a 300-400 word essay and two recommendation letters from teachers.
  • English: students from English-speaking countries can have the English test waived, which should cover Irish applicants. Otherwise the minimum is TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS 6.0, Duolingo 110 or Cambridge 169.
