School Notes:
  • William Penn University is a liberal arts university founded by Quaker pioneers in 1873, with the ideal of providing quality education to all. That ideal hasn't changed. William Penn is still devoted to providing a liberal arts education with a leadership focus. The John Templeton Foundation has recognized Penn’s Leadership Core curriculum as an exemplary program in student leadership development. Templeton evaluators consider programs based on the development of the competencies, conscience, and compassion required of leaders in a civil society. While almost all colleges and universities try to prepare students for positions of leadership on and off campus, Penn is one of only 40 college programs nationwide to earn this honor. William Penn University can also offer you the chance to really get to know fellow students, faculty, staff, and administrators. People at Penn care about you and will do all they can to make your college experience great!
  • Leadership core curriculum leads to bachelor's degrees in a wide range of liberal arts and professional academic disciplines. In addition to our four-year academic program in a traditional setting, Penn has an Associate of Arts in Leadership Studies and Bachelor of Business degrees through our College for Working Adults on three campuses in Iowa.
  • It's easy to get involved in campus life at William Penn. Choose from a variety of clubs and organizations that represent your interests, and then be prepared to take a leadership role in them!
