Welcome to L.E.A.P.


*Exceptions for entering the program late will be made on an individual basis.

**Prices are subject to change.

***This price includes a double occupancy room and 19 meals per week. Only Twin Towers Dormitory stays open during holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) and students must pay $15 per day (approx.) for their room. Cafeterias are also closed during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Breaks and students do not receive the meal plan during this one-week time period. Unless we are advised otherwise, we will place all international students in double occupancy rooms in Twin Towers Dormitory with roommates who do not speak the student's native language. Homestay with an American family and off-campus apartments are also available at a cost comparable to living in the dormitory.

Application and other documentation for admission are due six weeks before the first day of class, so that we may process your application in a timely manner for your visa application at the U.S. embassy. Students are encouraged to arrive one week before the L.E.A.P. Program begins*.  PLAN AHEAD:  apply early so that you have time to make reservations and meet deadlines.
