Undergraduate Learning Communities
To support Wayne State University’s commitment to student learning, WSU launched the Learning Community (LC) initiative, which seeks to enhance the undergraduate student experience by offering dynamic, focused communities in which students, staff, and faculty can learn and grow together.
A Learning Community offers the advantages of a small college learning environment with the resources of a major research university. In Learning Communities, small groups of students with similar interests work closely together in a “community of learners.” Students, along with advanced student mentors and a faculty advisor, study, socialize and problem-solve together. Often, a Learning Community group takes a course together, or the LC participants all live on the same floor of a residence hall.
When you join a Learning Community in the College of Education, you’ll be part of an innovative program that integrates courses with the campus experience. With your student peer mentors and faculty advisor, you’ll:
• Develop leadership skills through your interaction with your team
• More easily explore your academic interests – whether you’re sure of your major or are still deciding, you’ll have the opportunity within your peer network to explore your options
• Form new friendships, which will give you support in your campus and academic environments
