A learning community is a group of students with shared interests who live in the same residential area. National research shows that students in a learning community report a more positive social life and higher levels of student-faculty interaction (National Survey of Student Engagement Annual Report 2007). USA is working to increase student success by developing communities of learners. Members of the community attend two or three classes together. One of these classes will be a first year experience course and the other will be a general education class. Students in learning communities also enjoy participating in learning community activities outside of class. These include guest speakers and presentations or "field trips" related to a particular topic.Below is a list of our communities for Fall 2012!
