What is a Learning Community?

A learning community (LC) is a group of students who take a common set of courses together or share a common experience around their academics. Participants in a LC develop a deeper understanding of the courses’ subject matter while they build relationships and learn together outside of the classroom.

Students who participate in a Learning Community tend to:

• Have a greater success rate
• Have a higher GPA
• Make friends faster their first year
• Feel they got more out of their class
