A Learning Community offers first year students the opportunity to enroll in a predetermined set of specific university general education required courses that focus on a theme. First year students also participate in a variety of co-curricular activities that support the same theme. Program will require registration in specific classes at a specific time (e.g. HIST 1301, MWF, 10am-11am).

 

Learning Communities are a great way for our scholars to interact with each other in the classroom. Research shows that students who participate in learning communities do better academically and great strong bonds with other students. Learning Communities give students the opportunity to establish relationships with other students in the classroom environment. This helps them in during class time and in the long run when seeking other assistance.
