Learning Communities
Program Overview Learning Communities (known as LCs) are a part of the dynamic residential living options at High Point University. LCs encourage first year students with similar interests, both inside and outside of the classroom, to actively engage in a rich collaborative learning environment. These communities expand the learning opportunities beyond the classroom. These vibrant and optional learning communities are made possible by combining the strengths of Academic Affairs and Student Life on campus and are supported by faculty members who want to focus on student-centered, intellectual purpose that will enhance the resident’s academic goals. Learning Communities provide an interdisciplinary learning experience as well as peer-to-peer connections. Additionally, you will have structured out of class activities that will be led by your Peer Educator and supported by faculty members. LCs enroll cohorts of students (typically 18 to 20) with purposefully linked courses, designed to promote connections between disciplines and beyond the classroom.
