Text on screen: Eric Rhiney, Chair, Associate Professor, Management Department
Eric Rhiney: So, at the heart of our MS and Marketing program is a strategic intent to develop the next generation of marketing leaders. There are very few aims in Marketing programs out there. So it's one of the few that really gives you a deep strategic, deep thinking of marketing from a leadership perspective.
[Footage of Rhiney teaching a class online at his desk engaging with students.]
[Footage of two students collaborating on a project]
The other thing that I really like about it is that we have very small classes, so we get to know our students. They get to know us and each other, and that really helps to drive learning.
Text on screen: Payton H. (Student)
Payton H.: It's one of the major reasons why I decided to go to Webster in the first place.
[Footage of professor sitting at a table with two students having a conversation.]
It's very hands-on and one-on-one. And you get to know pretty much everyone in class.
Text on screen: Hands-On Learning: Experiential Learning for Real-World Challenges
Rhiney: Our marketing program combines rigorous course work, experiential learning and some practical one-on-one applications.
Text on screen: Hannah F. (Student)
Hannah F.: There was a lot more of intimate group work where we were doing case studies, where we were working with real working professionals that would come in and present us with a business problem, and we would have an hour to come up with a solution and come back and present it back to them.
Payton: I love how most of the professors, they also have their own jobs within the business world.
[Footage of professors teaching in various modalities including in class and online]
So it's basically they bring a lot of real-life experience and real-life examples in it that really helped to drive home a lot of the material that's being taught.
Rhiney: I really push my students.
[Footage of Rhiney teaching an online class]
I feel like it's necessary because as they get into these higher leadership positions, the unknown is going to hit them. So I want to hit them with that unknown in the classroom.
Text on screen: Flexible Learning: Providing Students with Resources to Succeed
So the program really is ideal for recent college graduates who want to pursue a career in marketing, as well as mid-career professionals who are looking to enhance their marketing knowledge and skills.
[Footage of students working on online lessons on a tablet and a laptop]
Hannah: I was a full-time student while at Webster during my master's degree and I was also full-time working, and having teachers that were really flexible was really, really helpful for me.
Payton: I feel my professors here are really setting me up for success because most of them have a lot of connections within the business world.
[Footage of students collaborating together, footage of Eric Rhiney teaching an online class]
They want to help you as much as they can and get you involved and get you going to career fairs and getting talk to people for internships and careers down the road.
Rhiney: When I see them really achieve and I see that they gain that confidence of achieving, that's terrific for me. I love it.
