Do you have a bachelor\u2019s degree in the Liberal Arts, Business, Fine Arts, or Education? For over 40 years, the Late Entry Accelerated Program (LEAP)<\/strong> has made it possible for students with non-engineering backgrounds to obtain a master\u2019s degree in engineering. Students in LEAP come from all academic backgrounds, including business administration, education, fine arts, music, natural sciences, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each LEAP student works with an engineering faculty advisor to design a unique program of study based on their academic background. Programs include master’s-level engineering courses in your area of interests; and if needed, undergraduate core courses. Coursework can be previewed by visiting the program planning overview<\/a>. LEAP students can graduate with a master’s in as little as two years of full-time study. <\/strong>A list of degrees available are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
