About College of Leadership and Ethics
The College of Leadership & Ethics (CLE) is composed of a group of teaching scholars and practitioners who support Navy leader development initiatives and conduct research on leadership effectiveness. CLE provides an opportunity for students to engage in studies that broaden their educational experience by focusing on leadership and ethics. We develop stronger leaders by preparing them to fulfill their expanding and ever-widening roles as global leaders.
