About Learning Communities

Learning communities are a way to get a head start during the freshman year. Participants live and take some classes with other students interested in the same major or theme. Students in learning communities have –

• Priority registration in key courses in the community
• Preferred placement in the residence hall linked to the community
• Field trips and other activities for LC members
• An average GPA of a 3.0 as a freshmen
• More likely to return as a sophmore than non-participants
• Less conduct problems in the residence halls
• More involved in campus activities
