A Learning Community gives you the advantages of a small college learning environment with the resources of a major research university.  In Learning Communities, small groups of students with similar interests work closely together in a “community of learners.” Students, along with advanced student mentors and a faculty advisor, study, socialize and problem-solve together.  Most likely, your entire group would take a course together, or  you might all live on the same floor of a residence hall.

Some examples of Learning Communities are:
