WashU at Brookings believes leadership development begins when you embrace a service-oriented, purpose-driven life.

You are defined by your belief in strong democratic institutions and ideals. Your dedication to making a positive difference in society. Your desire to deliver results for the American people. Your optimism about government as a whole. And your commitment to building empathy and integrity in yourself and your team.

WashU at Brookings develops leaders of competence and character who are equipped to make a positive and principled difference in their organizations, their communities and society at large.

Our curricula are competency- and research-based. Our courses help you identify new opportunities and implement big ideas. Prepare for a senior-level position at your agency or organization with courses aligned with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs). Many certificate holders have gone on to join the Senior Executive Service (SES).

As a result, WashU at Brookings transforms government, one leader at a time.
