LEAP

LEAP (Life-science Early Awareness Program) is a living learning community program for first-year students majoring in Biology or Natural Science in the Seaver College of Science and Engineering. Students in the LEAP program are enrolled in four linked courses team taught by three faculty members from the Seaver College and a staff member from Student Affairs. The linked courses, along with the residential living component and other co-curricular experiences provided for the students in the program, are designed to create a fully integrated learning experience and further the student’s interest and success in pursuing careers in the natural sciences. Examples of co-curricular programs that will be offered to LEAP participants are a pre-college “explore LA program” and an environmental science themed alternative break trip.

All students enrolled in the LEAP program are required to live in the residential community located on the fourth floor of Del Rey North.
