The Information Age has changed the way many people view education, and Greenleaf University is one of the results of this new point of view. Greenleaf University is a student-centered institution that offers distance learning degree programs via a one-on-one mentorship program in which faculty members guide individual, mid-career learners towards their academic and career goals.

Unlike many other distance learning programs that offer online coursework, Greenleaf University uses a tutorial model based on those used in ancient Chinese and Indian education. online courses might allow students to work in the comfort of their own homes, but they are still required to keep up with the rest of their classmates in cyberspace. At Greenleaf University, however, students proceed at their own individual pace and therefore have the most to gain through their work with their mentors. All students are assigned a mentor for each course they take at via this Missouri distance learning institution. Students have the opportunity to change or keep the same mentor throughout the course of their program.

Greenleaf University offers the Bachelor of business Administration (B.B.A) and the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees. Graduate students who have finished their coursework but have not yet completed their thesis or dissertation may do so through Greenleaf University's ABT (all but thesis) or ABD (all but dissertation) programs. Those looking to begin a doctoral program may be interested in enrolling in Greenleaf University's PhD in Management Leadership Administration program.

Although Greenleaf University is very much a product of the 21st century, it calls upon ancient educational traditions, such as mentoring, to help its students succeed.
