The Globetrotter- Webster University Geneva
Webster University Geneva was the first international campus of Webster University (US). With over 10 campuses around the world across 4 continents, they are also extremely present on military bases across the United States, where they support military personnel achieve their educational goals.
Webster University stands out as one of the very few universities that has its own network of residential campuses in cities on four continents and has a unified academic experience in all locations. Students based in Geneva, enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program, can easily opt to spend a semester, or a year, on an other Webster campus.

The Explorer – Franklin University Switzerland
One of the few universities in Switzerland based in the Italian-speaking region, Franklin University is named after the first US ambassador to France, Benjamin Franklin.
