Webster University Thailand (WUT) is an Indian-managed[3] liberal arts college established in 1999[4] with an undergraduate campus located near the resort town of Hua Hin in the district of Cha-Am, and additional graduate programs located in Bangkok, Thailand. WUT is one of several international campuses associated with Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States. Although the campus claims to be a non-profit American institution, there are no Americans in WUT's administration, its faculty is composed largely of Filipinos and Indians, and its current endowment fund is $0 (2015).[5] Despite its primary focus on undergraduate business and MBA programs, neither of the WUT campuses are accredited by AACSB.[6]
