Learning Community

First-year students entering in the fall semester begin their college careers by enrolling in a cluster of courses called a Learning Community. Each Learning Community consists of four or five introductory-level courses designed to introduce students to areas of study or majors offered at the college. By enrolling in and completing these courses, first year students begin to complete foundational courses in their selected areas of study as well as some of the Hunter Core courses needed to fulfill degree requirements for graduation. Additionally, since small groups of students are enrolled in many of the same course sections, these Learning Communities are designed to bring students together and make connections with peers who share their learning experiences and academic interests.  Participation in a Learning Community does not limit a student’s future area of study and can be tailored to fit a student’s educational history.
