Webster’s cosmopolitanism also builds international understanding. By getting to the bottom of different views through open and frank dialogue, you broaden the outlook of all participants.

It also provides the professor with an opportunity to teach in a diverse environment with students from many different countries. This is also an advantage for the students as it provides viewpoints and realities that they would not be exposed to elsewhere. Also, I have found that, like myself, Vienna‘s faculty members are committed to the highest standards of teaching, incorporating crucial theoretical knowledge with real world practice and hands-on application.« The capstone for the MBA program gives students the chance to bring together all of the theories, skills, and tools studied during the program and integrate them into a learning experience that highlights the nature of competition and the kind of strategic maneuvering required to achieve success.
