How do you turn a job into a profession, and turn a profession into a career? Especially when you’re already working? How do you both sustain yourself and advance yourself – while actually retaining quality of life?
For many, graduate school is one answer, one avenue. While grad school is never a one-size-fitsall proposition – a graduate degree is not required or appropriate in every field – it’s invaluable, even essential, in many. That’s especially true for a Master’s in Business Administration. For those with an MBA, earning power over a lifetime is a clear, compelling rationale; statistics indicate that those with graduate degrees can expect to make up to 50 percent more than those without.
Woodbury’s MBA program is about three things: Engaged Sustainability, Authentic Leadership, and Self Empowerment. The program fits into busy professional lives while providing the quality students demand of an MBA. Woodbury’s business program is the oldest in the West – an intensive 36-credit curriculum, with one-year and two-year program-completion options, structured around seven-week sessions, with evening and weekend classes available. Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, Woodbury School of Business is among the top 5 percent of business schools globally.

Let’s cultivate it together.
