American Webster University launches its academic programs in Uzbekistan

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Webster University will launch its academic programs in Uzbekistan starting from 2018-2019 academic year.

As part of the implementation of the agreements reached following the visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan to New York in September 2017, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in the United States, together with the representatives of a number of national universities, conducted a series of meetings and negotiations with the leadership of Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri.

As a result of the talks, the Agreement on Cooperation with Webster University was signed, providing basic principles and conditions for the establishment of its branch in Uzbekistan, including the launch of the TESL master’s degree program starting from 2018 in cooperation with the Uzbek State University of World Languages.

In the conditions of special demand for qualified English teachers, this diploma, recognized throughout the world, will allow the owner to obtain a worthy position in many universities, colleges and schools across the world.

"Today’s event is another step towards expanding academic cooperation between Uzbekistan and the United States, and contributing to alignment of the two different educational systems, as well as strengthening intercultural dialogue," noted Julian Schuster Vice President of Webster University. In his view, the successful implementation of the TESL program, as well as online training programs in the field of computer sciences and business administration will ensure the full accession of Webster University to the educational market of Uzbekistan.

Webster University will be the first American university to establish its affiliation in Uzbekistan.
