Welcome!
UNC Charlotte’s Learning Community
program is transforming the way students live, learn, and succeed in
their academic endeavors. We find that Learning Communities help
students transition through academic and social challenges by
providing small, supportive living and learning environments. You will
interact closely with UNC Charlotte faculty, staff and peer mentors
through areas of common interest, enroll in 2 or 3 of the same courses
and in many cases live together in the same residence hall. You will
make friends and develop close relationships.
While most Learning Communities are
residentially-based, some of those do not require living on campus;
one Learning Community is designed specifically for students living
off campus; and other Learning Communities have no residency
requirements or components. Most are one-year programs designed for
freshmen, some are two-year programs and one is specifically designed
for transfers.
Whether you are interested in arts
and sciences, business, community service, computing, criminal
justice, engineering, English, gender studies, health, history,
international relations, leadership, political science, psychology,
teaching, or you’re not sure yet, you are likely to find a community
of interest. Two pre-existing groups also have Learning Communities:
Building Educational Strengths and Talents (B.E.S.T.) and University
Transitions Opportunity Program (UTOP).
