140 Years of Excellence
Woodbury University established in 1884
Educator and entrepreneur F.C. Woodbury established the institution in 1884 as a response to the needs of Los Angeles’ growing business community. Woodbury College (as it was first known) quickly built a reputation for degrees leading to the professions.
From the start, Woodbury believed in gender equity, as its first class was made up nearly equally of males and females. This commitment to diversity was very unusual at the time and remains one of our core principles.

Our Four Schools: Past to Present
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
