"...these classes together are much more than the sum of their parts."

Learning Community Courses
- Disciplines are taught together (for example, literature with history, calculus with physics, criminal justice with psychology) so that the connections between them are clear. They are taught by at least two instructors, each from the different disciplines or areas.
- You can work with other students on activities and projects.
- You can interact with other students and teachers and be part of a closely-knit, supportive community of learners.
- You may experience a variety of learning modes such as participating in large and small group discussions, working on activities and projects, taking field trips, and hearing lectures.
- Students and teachers work closely together, contributing what they already know and seeking new knowledge.
- You get to express your thoughts and ideas and to hear those of your fellow students.
- You can gain self-confidence about yourself as a student, a thinker, a reader, a writer, a speaker, a listener.
