Learning Communities (LC) allow students to enroll in a preset group of classes with others who share the same passions, interests, or specific field of study. The students in an LC take classes together (between 1-3 semesters) and work closely with specific faculty and counselors assigned to their learning community and invested in student success. Explore your LC options with your Counselor.

By connecting college success courses, general education requirements, and relevant, student-focused and thematic curriculum, LCs support pathways to earning a degree or certificate. There are two main categories of Learning Community:

  • College Success + General Education
  • Major + Degree Pathways

Below you will find the search term and links to find the Learning Community specific courses on WebSchedule.
