Learning Communities
A learning community is a set of courses in which students having a common major or interest may enroll. Participation in this program allows students to be part of a group enrolled in primarily the same courses. Each community is limited to no more than 24 students. Students benefit from the linked courses through connections with peers, faculty, and a higher level of engagement in the scholarly work. The Learning Communities occur in the Fall semester only.
Residential College
The Residential College program is a year-long program made up of several residential communities linked with an academic department. Based upon the student’s major, a group of courses are shared with peers living in the same hall. The Residential College fosters connections with peers, faculty, staff, and a higher level of engagement in the scholarly work. Additionally, students in residential college reside with other Residential College participants and are provided reserved study space for individual, quiet study as well as group study areas within the residential community. Further, Residential College students received dedicated time from Research Librarians to assist the student in conducting research and meet with academic tutors or supplemental instructors within the residential facility.
