What are the benefits of participating in the Scholars' Studio Learning Community?

The learning community challenges students to use the knowledge, skills, and perspectives gained in their courses to make a difference in the world.  They work with faculty during the fall and or spring semester to explore, research and develop strategies to address an issue of social and personal concern. To accomplish this, students take 12—15 credits together as a learning community. Faculty and students engage in discussion and activities outside the classroom to seek deeper understanding of the selected problem. Two hours of Freshman Seminar is dedicated to this exploration.

Does the learning community offer personal and academic support?

Students are supported with peer mentoring, supplemental instruction and 1-1 tutoring.
