A message from Jeff Bellantoni, Woodbury’s 16th President
Whether you are a new, or returning, student please allow me to welcome you to Woodbury University!
Greetings from Southern California and Woodbury University. My name is Jeff Bellantoni and I have the honor of serving as the President of this incredibly creative, private nonprofit university that has been educating leaders for over 140 years.
We consider ourselves one of the most inspiring, creative, innovative universities in the LA area where students are immersed in unique, personal, and practice-based learning experiences offered by faculty who are scholars and industry professionals.
Woodbury believes in the power of creativity to better the lives of all of us, and we are passionate about shaping the next generation of business and creative leaders, those who define culture and lifestyle: what consumers see and hear, the products they use, the clothes they wear, the entertainment they consume, the buildings and environments they inhabit, and how they communicate.
We offer over 20 undergraduate and graduate programs in design, architecture, business and the liberal arts. Our students come from all over California, across the United States and internationally. What you’ll find here is a community that is diverse, inclusive, accepting, student centered, and one that will not only prepare you for a career, but more importantly, for your entire life. We are proud of that, and we are especially proud of our accomplished alumni.
Woodbury is stronger than ever, as we are merging with the University of Redlands, one of the top ranked regional universities in the western United States. As you plan your educational future, we hope you’ll consider Woodbury University because we offer a variety of dynamic degree paths designed with one goal in mind: cultivating the next generation of entrepreneurs, creative thinkers and makers.
Come visit our beautiful campus in sunny Southern California — you won’t be disappointed. Thank you.
