Mission
The Woodbury University’s Master of Business Administration degree is designed to prepare future leaders of organizations who communicate effectively, act ethically, and think globally in a strategic manner.
Greetings and Welcome!
Woodbury’s MBA program is designed to prepare leaders who are effective and ethical. It aspires to help future leaders in discovering their authentic voice that is guided by a strong moral compass. Our motto is ‘transform the world by transforming yourself.’
Our goal is to help you achieve success that is imbued with significance and meaning. Success is about getting, significance is about giving: We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give. Success is about doing, significance is about being: We are not human “doings;” we are human “beings.” Success is external, significance is internal: Success aims to acquire external objects; significance aims to harness inner qualities. We pursue success, significance ensues: Success is acquired while significance is discovered and embodied.
Stephen Covey warns that you don’t want to climb the ladder of success only to find that it is leaning against the wrong wall. This statement captures the essence of the difference between success and significance. Covey further states that “If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong place faster.”
The world needs a totally different breed of leaders, leaders who are centered and not self-centered. Woodbury’s MBA program is specially designed to help you discover, polish and share your unique gifts and talents. It is all about learning, living, and leaving a legacy.
Come and see!

Why Get an MBA
Our lives, our society, and our planet have been experiencing an unprecedented change explosion. Even change has changed in terms of its complexity, unpredictability, and uncertainty. What has not changed, however, is our need to deal with this complex phenomenon of change and our ability to lead ourselves to greater excellence and fulfillment. Therefore, as we transition to a world where change is the only constant, our ability to lead change successfully must become a core survival competency. There seems to be no nobler goal than to lead oneself and others to excellence, fulfillment, and collaborative achievement. The MBA degree provides an excellent opportunity to nurture and master these skills that are essential for organizational excellence and success.
Leadership has been hailed as the key determinant of success for any organization, large or small, public or private. Research has shown that effective leadership helps meet the expectations of all stakeholders and ensures long term survival of an organization. Woodbury University’s MBA degree is designed to prepare the next generation of effective leaders. It welcomes those having a non-business undergraduate background as well as those possessing an undergraduate business degree.
