One Vision, Two Unique Academies

Two Centuries of Developing Leaders

There has never been a greater need for leaders who serve in the government, non-government, private, and global sectors. ĻӰ’s Leadership Academies will provide pathways to these sectors by focusing on the citizen soldier concept.

These academies develop new leaders of strong character who are ethical, innovative, inclusive, and ready to lead in military, federal, private, and NGO environments. These academies run in parallel and align with the Corps of Cadets core leadership competencies. This alignment provides a seamless transition for Corps members in their 3rd year if they choose not to pursue a military commission or for any civilian student to join from their 1st year through the beginning of their 3rd year. 

The Government Service Leadership Academy and Global Leadership Academy focus on pathway opportunities for tuition assistance, fellowships, and internship programs. The academies leverage existing ĻӰ curricula supplemented by competencies developed through participation and engagement in co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
