Program Planning

To prepare for success at the master’s level, LEAP students build a foundation in engineering with undergraduate courses prior to beginning their master’s degree program. The courses below are part of the LEAP foundational course plan. Any course that you have completed with a grade of B or higher, prior to joining LEAP do not need to be repeated. The only course that you must have completed before joining LEAP is Calculus 1 for math and science majors.

When you matriculate into LEAP, you will work with our staff and faculty to design your unique program of study based on your academic and professional background.

LEAP foundational core courses:

Math: Calculus II, Differential Equations, Multivariate Calculus*
Science: Physics I & II
Engineering: Intro. to Programming for Engineers
* Not required for the ECE program.
