From the Institution

Graceland was founded in 1895 with a commitment to creating non-sectarian learning communities that prepare students for meaningful and productive lives. Graceland's main residential campus is located on 170 acres of rolling hills in Lamoni, Iowa. For over 50 years, Graceland has also been educating health care professionals in Independence, Mo., which is home to the School of Nursing and the Doctor of Physical Therapy programs. The Independence campus also includes the Gleazer School of Education teacher education program as well as both undergraduate degree completion programs and graduate studies in many fields. SkillPath, Graceland's subsidiary located in Mission, Kansas, provides both face-to-face and online seminars to life-long learners in business and industry that allow them to improve or refresh their skills in a wide range of areas. Central to the University's mission is creating an environment of radical belonging, where all are welcome, valued, and empowered to learn and grow. Radical belonging enables Graceland students to gain the self-confidence and strength to be the bold leaders and changemakers the world needs. For over 60 years, the university's unique approach to residence life - the Graceland House System - is built upon the belief that students will become their best selves when they find belonging and inclusion in a strong support system. In the Fall of 2022, Graceland launched one of its most ambitious and innovative programs yet - a second major in Transformational Leadership for all 4-year undergraduates. Transformational Leadership reimagines the liberal arts and combines general education, strategic skills, and leadership training to provide students with highly in-demand, durable skills employers are seeking like collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.
