In the hi-tech world we live in, it is imperative
that information technology works both
effectively and reliably. That’s why computer
and information technology managers
play such a vital role in the implementation
and administration of technology within
their organizations.
Information technology managers direct the work of other IT
professionals such as software engineers and programmers, computer
systems analysts, and computer support specialists. They plan
and coordinate installations and upgrade hardware and software,
programming and systems design, the implementation of computer
networks, and the development of Internet and intranet sites while
also staying involved with the upkeep, maintenance and security of
networks.
That’s why Webster University’s Master of Arts in Information
Technology Management program is designed to educate and develop
professionals who can effectively manage the planning, design,
selection, implementation, use, and administration of emerging and
converging information and communications technologies. The
program curriculum provides students with the technical
knowledge and management knowledge and skills needed to
effectively integrate people, information and communication
technologies and business processes in support of organizational
strategic goals.

A REAL-WORLD EDUCATION,
TAUGHT BY EXPERTS WHO HELP YOU SUCCEED
For students seeking to go into business after college, preparing
for the “real world” is never far from mind. Whether it’s a recent
inspiration, or something you’ve been dreaming since the days you
sold lemonade and traded baseball cards, you recognize the world is
filled with business opportunity. Seizing that opportunity requires
both big dreams and real precision.
That’s why Webster’s business program is reality-based. Our professors
are not only academic experts in their field, they also bring real-world
experience from companies such as Monsanto, AT&T and Bank of
America. Here, you’ll learn finance from instructors who have held big
roles with financial brokers and Fortune 500 corporations. You’ll learn
accounting from Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).
The Webster business curriculum is designed in cooperation with
local business leaders. The Business Advisory Council is comprised of
corporate executives who advise faculty about the skills and knowledge
they look for in future graduates. Our Department of Business is
continually updating course offerings to reflect the current and most
relevant trends in today’s business climate.
At Webster, you’ll find all the fun, exciting opportunities you expect
from college. You’ll also graduate ready to hit the ground running as
you start your career.
ACCOUNTING (BS)
The accounting field is one of the hottest fields in business. There

approach of the degree will prepare you to be able to make decisions

the relevant functions of the firm.

based upon a comprehensive set of skills that a diverse, energetic and
fully committed group of instructors will develop in you.

information and generating intelligence.
There is a constant demand for data analysis and information
analysts who can understand database, query data, perform activities

mining. The program is created to meet this demand, helping students
understand underlying concepts and methodologies that are used in
the data analytics process. Students in the program will be armed
with various technologies that support effective business decision
making in today’s increasingly competitive environment.
Students in the program will study concepts and principles in data
analytics and the underlying building technologies. Students will
experience a broad category of applications and techniques for
gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help
business users perform better decision making. The skill set learned
from the program will enable students to take challenges in the
process of transforming data to meaningful information and
identifying new opportunities for the organization. This will better
position them toward professional accomplishments in their lifelong
learning process.
ECONOMICS (BA)
To meet the demands of today’s business student, Webster offers
an economics “flex track” program that allows you the flexibility
and variety to shape the degree to fit your unique interests. While
all economics majors take core classes in basic and advanced
microeconomics and macroeconomics, Webster’s unique program
allows you to choose advanced courses that match your interests,
whether it is money and banking, economic development, sports
economics, international trade, labor economics, public sector
economics, urban and regional economics, comparative economic
systems or the history of economic thought. All economics majors then
complete their degree by choosing courses from one of three tracks:
mathematical economics, business economics or liberal arts economics.

Overview
Webster University is a powerful global brand that our academic and administrative
predecessors have invested over 100 years in planning, creating, developing and
expanding to locations around the world. The Webster University family of logos and
the name “Webster University” are protected by trademark and registered with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Additional steps are taken to legally protect the
brand name in the countries in which we have Webster University locations.
It is our legal duty to ensure that we protect and steward this brand for the years,

These brand guidelines apply to each and every Webster University campus,
campus location, college, school and administrative unit around the world that is
branded as Webster University. This includes St. Louis, metropolitan locations,
military locations, online and global campuses.
Webster’s Office of Global Marketing & Communications has the duty to design,
implement, monitor and steward the correct usage of the brand in order to build a
consistent awareness of our global academic and administrative excellence. This
unit will work collaboratively with Webster University locations globally, in a manner
that recognizes local and cultural characteristics that should be taken into
consideration when implementing a global brand on a local level.
We ask that you adhere to these guidelines, as together, we continue to steward the
Webster University brand.

Spirit Marks
THE GORLOK
The Gorlok is Webster University’s school mascot, representing a mythical creature made up of the paws of a speeding
cheetah, the horns of a fierce buffalo and the face of a dependable Saint Bernard. The Gorlok embodies the highest
standards of speed, agility and stamina in an atmosphere of fairness and good conduct. The name “Gorlok” is derived
from the combination of two streets (Gore Ave. and Lockwood Ave.) that intersect in the heart of Webster Groves, site
of Webster University’s home campus.
WEBSTER ATHLETICS
Athletic marks help apply an active and dynamic sensibility to our athletic programs and should only appear in
messaging and communications regarding Athletics programs. These logos should never be used to market or endorse
academic programs, campus events, or any other formal University business.
R
Webster University’s brand loyalty cascades to other aspects of the university
experience like student groups, campus life and athletic achievement. In these contexts,
spirit marks carry the weight of communicating a less formal brand experience,
while still tying closely to our official brand.
Uses of the Gorlok in marketing materials is flexible. The artwork my be cropped for use as backgrounds or other design elements but the
image itself should not be modified in any way. The Gorlok should always appear in a variation of Webster Blue, Gold or Black.
Athletics logos are reserved strictly for
Athletics Department use only. Permission for
use of the athletics logo(s) in any manner
except on official University documents, or in
connection with official University functions,
must be secured from the Office of Global

EXAMPLES OF WEBSTER PHOTOGRAPHY
WHEN TAKING OR SELECTING PHOTOGRAPHS
Consider lighting, composition and the story your photographs need to tell. Whether shooting the grand opening of a
campus or a portrait of a faculty member, professional photography should be used as often as possible. Avoid overly
staged, flat and otherwise uninteresting photos that don’t illustrate the dynamic and diverse nature of Webster.
All photography requests, including selection and use of vendors, must be approved through the Office of Global
Marketing and Communications (GMC) manager of Photography Services.
All photos taken on official business for Webster University become property of the University and must be shared
with GMC’s manager of Photography Services.
Direct questions or concerns regarding photography to the manager of Photography Services at photos@webster.edu.

WEBSTER UNIVERSITY BRAND GUIDELINES
ADVERTISING OVERVIEW
GMC develops all non-employment advertisements to assure that all ads contribute favorably to the image of Webster
University and are consistent with defined standards, regardless of media type and relative to content, format and graphics.
Extended campuses and departments should not engage in media buying as this is the sole responsibility and
contractual obligation of GMC. Advertising strategy, planning and placement is conducted on an annual basis prior to
the beginning of the next fiscal year. This is typically a 3-4 month period, and involves market-specific research,
development of overall media strategy and personas by market, media planning and buying, review of enrollment goals
and inquiry formula calculations – all of which culminate in a fully integrated, measureable, media calendar per market.
All extended campuses or departments must secure approval from GMC for any Webster University or department
related advertisements — regardless of the media type or form in which the advertisement will appear.
Advertising
Under no circumstances should any employee of the University
engage in the buying of advertising media. This is the responsibility of
the Office of Global Marketing & Communications (GMC).
Advertising is an important tool used to complement recruitment efforts, position
the organization amongst competitors, and increase the awareness of the Webster
brand across all of its constituencies. Done effectively, advertising can yield great results
that increase inquiries, promote goodwill and raise the recognition of the brand.

Digital Media
Technology is now an intrinsic part of everyday life. At Webster that means finding
ways to use trusted and emerging tools that convey the brand through experiences
that are intuitive, reliable, graceful and focused on user experience.
Consult the Office of Global Marketing & Communications before
creating any form of digital marketing media not addressed in
this guide. This includes websites, video production, smart/mobile phone
applications, SMS messaging and other emerging technologies.
UNIVERSITY PROCEDURE
WEBSTER.EDU
The Webster University website is the anchor of the university’s media identity. Always on, it is the first place
students, faculty and staff visit to obtain information about the University. It is imperative that the site be easy to
navigate, present information clearly, and adheres to the established brand of the University.

WEBSTER UNIVERSITY BRAND GUIDELINES
Email Signatures
Email is the most frequently used medium for sending and receiving business
correspondence. Adoption of a University-wide standard for email signatures is a small,
but crucial step in conveying a professional presence on behalf of the institution.
Follow the below guidelines for formatting when creating
your email signature. Never include new fonts, inspirational quotes, illustrative
or photographic designs or unrelated icons.

EXAMPLES OF APPROVED SIGNATURES
WITHOUT PIPESWITH PIPES
YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE
The Webster University signature fits on four lines and should never go more than six. Go wider rather than longer,
and use pipes (Shift + ) to separate components.
Include your name, Webster University, your title and the best method for getting in touch with you. There is no need to
include your email address in your signature since it’s just as easy to click “reply.” And while random quotes are fun
among friends, they can risk offending business associations that may not share the same points of inspiration.
DO NOT:
1) Use images or icons in your signature
An image only increases an email’s file size and may be blocked before it’s opened. Most email clients store
images as attachments or block them altogether, meaning the recipient will have to guess if it’s a genuine
attachment or not.
2) Use more than one font
Standard-sized fonts are one of the only ways to ensure a signature will appear the same across monitors and
devices. Refrain from the use of script or cursive fonts, multiple colors, or extreme differences in font size.

  • 22. Spirit Marks THE GORLOK The Gorlok is Webster University’s school mascot, representing a mythical creature made up of the paws of a speeding cheetah, the horns of a fierce buffalo and the face of a dependable Saint Bernard. The Gorlok embodies the highest standards of speed, agility and stamina in an atmosphere of fairness and good conduct. The name “Gorlok” is derived from the combination of two streets (Gore Ave. and Lockwood Ave.) that intersect in the heart of Webster Groves, site of Webster University’s home campus. WEBSTER ATHLETICS Athletic marks help apply an active and dynamic sensibility to our athletic programs and should only appear in messaging and communications regarding Athletics programs. These logos should never be used to market or endorse academic programs, campus events, or any other formal University business. R Webster University’s brand loyalty cascades to other aspects of the university experience like student groups, campus life and athletic achievement. In these contexts, spirit marks carry the weight of communicating a less formal brand experience, while still tying closely to our official brand. Uses of the Gorlok in marketing materials is flexible. The artwork my be cropped for use as backgrounds or other design elements but the image itself should not be modified in any way. The Gorlok should always appear in a variation of Webster Blue, Gold or Black. Athletics logos are reserved strictly for Athletics Department use only. Permission for use of the athletics logo(s) in any manner except on official University documents, or in connection with official University functions, must be secured from the Office of Global Marketing & Communications.

  • 28. Email Signatures Email is the most frequently used medium for sending and receiving business correspondence. Adoption of a University-wide standard for email signatures is a small, but crucial step in conveying a professional presence on behalf of the institution. Follow the below guidelines for formatting when creating your email signature. Never include new fonts, inspirational quotes, illustrative or photographic designs or unrelated icons. UNIVERSITY PROCEDURE Name Title Department Webster University | Address 1 | Address 2 Office: xxx-xxx-xxxx | Mobile: xxx-xxx-xxxx Name Title Department Webster University Address 1 Address 2 Office: xxx-xxx-xxxx Mobile: xxx-xxx-xxxx EXAMPLES OF APPROVED SIGNATURES WITHOUT PIPESWITH PIPES YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE The Webster University signature fits on four lines and should never go more than six. Go wider rather than longer, and use pipes (Shift + ) to separate components. Include your name, Webster University, your title and the best method for getting in touch with you. There is no need to include your email address in your signature since it’s just as easy to click “reply.” And while random quotes are fun among friends, they can risk offending business associations that may not share the same points of inspiration. DO NOT: 1) Use images or icons in your signature An image only increases an email’s file size and may be blocked before it’s opened. Most email clients store images as attachments or block them altogether, meaning the recipient will have to guess if it’s a genuine attachment or not. 2) Use more than one font Standard-sized fonts are one of the only ways to ensure a signature will appear the same across monitors and devices. Refrain from the use of script or cursive fonts, multiple colors, or extreme differences in font size. | 17 WEBSTER UNIVERSITY BRAND GUIDELINES
