Woodbury University is a private institution. Founded in 1884, it operates as an independent, nonprofit university. Private universities like Woodbury rely on tuition, donations, and endowments rather than state funding. This often results in higher tuition costs compared to public universities, but it also allows for more autonomy in curriculum design and admissions policies.
Woodbury offers undergraduate and graduate programs, primarily in architecture, business, design, and liberal arts. Its private status enables smaller class sizes and specialized programs tailored to student needs. The university is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.
