The Women’s Leadership Institute at Furman University is a leadership training program for both existing female leaders and developing female leaders. This curriculum is focused on teaching participants evidence-based leadership theory and practical application of these theories to help them inspire followers, lead groups, and achieve organizational goals—all in the context of better understanding the unique challenges women face in the workplace.

Our approach to admissions may be holistic, but our goal is singular: find the most well-rounded, academically accomplished and interesting students out there. We know that a diverse, passionate class of students makes Furman a better place. So, yes, grades, rigor of curriculum matter, and test scores matter, but our application process goes well beyond what’s on paper. We want to connect with you on a personal level and know your story.
