Why Leadership Studies?
The Jepson School of Leadership Studies fills a critical need in higher education: to help students better understand leadership so that they can become active, thoughtful and effective participants in their world.
Students draw upon the liberal arts to learn about the complexities and obligations of leadership. By studying theories and models of leadership and topics such as the Presidency, they come to understand leadership as a position and a process.
Change is certain. Leadership ensures that change is intentional. Jepson students step into organizations with deeper knowledge about leading change, working through challenges, and continuously improving processes, relationships and operations. While Jepson recognizes that leadership takes many forms, we believe our students are enriched when they have the knowledge and skills to contribute to organizational, political, and social life.
