Learning Communities are groupings of two or more courses, often surrounding a common theme. There are two types of Learning Communities, Clusters (consisting of three or more classes) and Pairs (consisting of two classes).
Learning Communities can help you:
- Make connections among courses
- Form a community with your classmates
- Work closely with faculty

Continuing students are encouraged to select a Cluster or Pair in their second semester.
