Mission
Tuck develops wise, decisive leaders who better the world through business.
WISE reflects expertise in strategic thinking, the analytic skills to develop and defend points of view, and the empathy to understand and work effectively with others.
DECISIVE means making the right decisions by thoughtfully defining, analyzing, and solving problems—and understanding when and how to seize opportunities and take risks for the better.
LEADERS have the ability to craft a compelling vision for the future and then bring that vision to life with and through high-performing teams.
Core Values
Tuck distinguishes itself by being distinctly personal, connected, and transformative.
PERSONAL means deeply relevant to one’s individual abilities, aspirations, and sense of being. In practice, PERSONAL refers to our scale and to the way we get to know you as an individual—your strengths, your ambitions, and how you see yourself.
CONNECTED means developing strong ties among Tuck students, faculty, alumni, and staff and deep experiences with the world’s most salient ideas, people, and places. In practice, CONNECTED refers to the bonds you forge within our community and how our community connects to the world—to the latest thinking, to influential scholars and leaders, and to centers of business activity.
TRANSFORMATIVE means enhancing capabilities of people, their organizations, and society as a whole. In practice, TRANSFORMATIVE refers to Tuck’s impact on you, your career, and the impact you as a leader have on organizations and broader society.
