What Is a Learning Community?

The faculty-led learning communities (LCs) are credit-bearing opportunities that take your learning to the next level! Each learning community is aligned with a different academic theme that will add value to your degree without requiring extra time or expense. Two of the communities are residential and two are nonresidential.

• There is no cost to participate
• Earn class credit that fulfills requirements for your major
• Build lifelong personal and professional connections with Schar School faculty and peers who share similar interests and ambitions  
• Receive support for internship and job opportunities
• Develop valuable skills that you can apply to your future career or graduate school
