AG LEAP

This pride is designed to allow academically talented students to participate in a living/learning community that focuses on the science of the entire food, fiber, and natural resource systems, including environmental, animal and plant sciences. In addition to earning 6.5 credits toward graduation, students participate in special activities: trips to conservation and environmental sites, as well as agriculture-related production, research and industry facilities; program lunches with senior faculty members and administrators; a weekly lecture series with distinguished Penn State scientists and alumni; regular scheduled trips and activities at Shavers Creek Environmental Center; and several activities to explore the numerous educational and career possibilities in our college. Students interact closely with the college's internationally acclaimed faculty, who are available to discuss academic goals, career opportunities, and research projects.
