Overview

Webber International University is a small business-focused university in Babson Park, Florida, on the shore of Crooked Lake in the state's citrus-growing interior. A large share of students play intercollegiate sports, and athletics shape much of the campus's social and organizational structure.

Academics

Business administration and sport management are Webber's core programs, reflecting both its founding business focus and the athletics-heavy makeup of its student body. Class sizes are small, and career-preparatory coursework in business fields dominates the curriculum.

Campus & student life

The lakeside, rural-Florida setting is quiet and small, without a surrounding college town, so campus life centers heavily on athletics and residential community rather than off-campus options. The high proportion of student-athletes gives the school a team-oriented social rhythm tied closely to competition schedules.

Getting in

Admission is not highly selective, and athletic recruitment is a significant factor in how the entering class is built, alongside general review of academic record for other applicants.

After graduation

Business and sport management graduates tend to move into regional business and athletics-adjacent careers, including coaching, athletic administration, and management roles connected to the sport management program's professional focus.
