LEAP
Explore this
unique pathway to a career change!
For
over 25 years, LEAP at Boston University
has enabled non-traditional students
and working professionals to obtain
graduate degrees in engineering. As
a LEAP student, you'll first be brought
up to parity by taking a core set
of undergraduate engineering courses.
You'll then enter a regular Master's
Degree program in one of eight engineering
fields.
LEAP
was first funded in 1980 by a grant
from National Science Foundation as
a means to attract more women into
engineering. Since 1984, the program
has admitted both men and women and
is supported by Boston University.
Phase
I
of LEAP consists of a core set of
about ten to twelve disclipline-related
undergraduate courses. Credit is given
for prior equivalent coursework. These
courses do not lead to a BS degree, but will qualify you for entry into
the graduate phase of LEAP.
Phase
II
consists of our regular Master's program
in any of six engineering disciplines.
Many LEAP students go on to doctoral
studies at Boston University.
