Woodbury University-Burbank

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Woodbury University is a private, non-profit, coeducational, nonsectarian university located in Burbank, California.

History

The school was founded in 1884 as Woodbury's Business College by its namesake, Francis Chute Woodbury, formerly a partner in Heald's Business College in San Francisco, thus making it one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in California and the American West. That historic link between Woodbury and the world of business has been maintained throughout the years.

In 1931, the division of professional arts was established to focus on those fields of design that are closely allied to business. Woodbury then became a college of business administration and design. In 1969, Woodbury introduced a graduate program leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA). In 1974, Woodbury College became Woodbury University. In 1982, Computer Information Systems was added as a major, followed in 1984 by Architecture. In 1987, the Weekend College program for working adults was established with the aid of grants from The Fletcher Jones Foundation and The William Randolph Hearst Foundation. In 1994 the University formally organized its undergraduate and graduate programs into three schools: the School of Architecture and Design, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Business and Management.

That year three majors in Arts and Sciences came into being: Psychology, Politics & History and Liberal Arts & Business. Additional undergraduate degree programs have been added in the areas of Marketing, Animation Arts, Communication, and Organizational Leadership.

Today, Woodbury's undergraduate and graduate programs are formally organized in four schools: the School of Architecture, the School of Business, the School of Media, Culture and Design, and the Institute of Transdicisplinary Studies.

For a time, Woodbury could boast that 10% of Los Angeles' citizenry were attending the institution and its earliest alumni lists form a literal who's who of 19th century Los Angeles. The original mission of Woodbury University was to educate Angelenos in the practical areas of business; bookkeeping, commercial law and telegraphy. In 1931, the College created a division of professional arts centered on entertainment and design. In 1974, Woodbury College became Woodbury University and in 1984 added Architecture to its professional degrees. In 1987, the University moved to a campus in Burbank, on the site of Villa Cabrini.

I think it's a good school for architecture. It's accredited by the NAAB, it's a small campus, and you don't have TA's teaching classes. You get your money's worth with that alone. Also, the program has a reputation of winning architectural awards. Overall, it's a very good school.
