As the nation’s first-ever undergraduate school of leadership studies, the Jepson School takes "leading the way" very seriously. That’s why we educate tomorrow’s leaders with a world-class program, preparing them for positions that drive real change in their communities and the world. Through a rigorous curriculum, opportunities for outside experience, and support that extends far beyond their time at Jepson, our students find a leadership journey unlike any other. Recently named the "Jewel in the Crown" of the University of Richmond’s academics by College Gazette, the Jepson School of Leadership Studies investigates leadership not only as a position, but also as a process and a relationship among people.
