Learning Communities

 What are Learning Communities?

Learning communities are groups of classes linked by a common theme, creating an opportunity for students with shared goals to work collaboratively in a dynamic learning environment. Students in learning communities benefit from smaller class sizes, active participation in college and community events, and curriculum designed to deepen learning across disciplines.

The advantages are real. Research shows that students who participate in learning communities demonstrate

• increased engagement in their studies,
• improved academic success,
• and a stronger sense of connection to their learning, their college, and to each other.
