Jepson School of Leadership Studies
The Jepson School of Leadership Studies was founded to fill a
significant void in higher education. All too often, institutions
focus on imparting career skills, or talk about preparing future
leaders, without developing a true understanding of leadership—the
knowledge, ability and conviction to drive change. In bridging this
critical gap, Jepson established itself as a respected center for
scholarship and education.
To teach for and about leadership, the School uses
the multiple disciplinary
lenses of economics, history, literature, philosophy, politics,
psychology and religion. Students learn conceptual tools that
support the exercise of leadership in varied settings.
The
thoughtfully designed and paced curriculum starts with a thorough
introduction to the intellectual and historical foundations of
leadership and ends with Ethics and Leadership.
Courses in Critical Thinking, Group Dynamics and Theories and Models
reflect Jepson’s commitment to studying leadership across
disciplines. Courses with hands-on components help students understand how to
apply knowledge gained through coursework.
Some students study international
leadership and pursue independent research.
A Jepson education investigates leadership as a process and a
relationship among people. It is directed
toward intellectual development, professional and personal service,
responsibility and civic engagement. It is informed by the human
condition and grounded in global understanding.
