Learning Communities

The Learning Communities (LC's) are designed to provide a supportive learning opportunity open to freshmen students who declare any major in the College of Science and Mathematics. 

The primary focus of these LC's is helping students succeed academically in the critical first year of college. 

Why should I participate?

One of the many benefits to participating in the LC is that you will be attending some classes with other students who have declared a major similar to yours. You will also have the opportunity to connect with students, faculty, and staff who all have an interest in helping you succeed.
