Welcome to the School of Leadership Studies. Through a varied curriculum, our School teaches skills for leadership roles in the 21st Century that reflect the global and technological environment in which we live and work.

Our programs span an array of disciplines that are joined together by the belief that leaders transform our world. The School’s Institute of Communication, Entertainment and Media, the Institute for Educational Studies and the Institute for Professional Studies encompass professions that provide many opportunities for its leaders to open avenues for transformation.

Based on the premise that leadership is learned, the School’s faculty is dedicated to ensuring that students experience practical training as well as developing the critical thinking skills that are needed to excel as leaders. We prepare our students with the passion, dedication, ethics and commitment with which we expect our graduates to leave St. Thomas University.

We invite you to visit our campus and meet with us in person to assess your opportunities for study in the areas of Communications and Media, Education and Professional Studies.
