A learning community is a group of students with similar interests who take classes together and share academic and social experiences designed to enhance the first-year experience. While the program runs through the first academic year, the benefits you’ll receive can last throughout all your college years and beyond.
Studies show students who participate in learning communities are more likely to have higher grade-point averages, are less likely to be on academic probation and are more likely to graduate on time than their peers. Plus, students say learning communities make their years in college much more enjoyable and profitable.
