Jepson School of Leadership Studies
All too often, educators talk about preparing future leaders without developing a rich understanding of leadership—the knowledge, ability and conviction to address social problems and live lives of consequence. In bridging this critical gap, Jepson stands on the forefront of scholarship and education as the first school of leadership studies in the country.
A Jepson education investigates leadership as a process and a relationship among people. It is based in a rigorous academic curriculum and plentiful hands-on opportunities. It explores fundamental questions about who we are, how we live together, and how we influence the course of history. It exemplifies the spirit of the liberal arts: to educate people to take an active role in our community and the world.
Our faculty teach for and about leadership through the multiple disciplinary lenses of economics, history, literature, philosophy, politics, psychology and religion. Our students learn conceptual tools that support the exercise of leadership in varied settings. Our alumni go into the world with the knowledge and desire to change it for the better.
