What are the types of Learning Communities?

There are four types of Learning Communities: Mega, Traditional, Common Theme, and Career-Focused (Criminal Justice, Kinesiology, and Pre-Health). All offer their own educational and personal benefits as well as having some in common. Learning Communities (LCs) will strive to create a culture of learning to improve student success and to increase overall retention during the first two years of the undergraduate experience. The fundamental purpose of LCs at A&M San Antonio will be to develop cohort identity, to establish a culture of learning and to create a sense of belonging to our university!
