Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP)

Launched in 2005, Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) is a national public advocacy and campus action initiative. LEAP champions the importance of a liberal education—for individual students and for a nation dependent on economic creativity and democratic vitality. LEAP responds to contemporary demands for more college-educated workers and more engaged and informed citizens.  Today, and in the years to come, college graduates need higher levels of learning and knowledge as well as strong intellectual and practical skills to navigate this more demanding environment successfully and responsibly. Managed by LEAP and funded by the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AACU) Leadership Fund for Liberal Education.
