Overview

History

Established in 2001, the UNC Charlotte Learning Communities Program now has 11 different options for new students. Some learning communities are residential and others are non-residential. Many of the initial learning communities have grown rapidly in size. Current communities range in size from 20 students to over 100 students.

Vision

To support UNC Charlotte’s commitment to student learning, the Learning Community Program seeks to enhance undergraduates’ first-year experience by providing all interested students dynamic, focused communities which promote growth and learning through curricular and co-curricular activities.

Mission

To increase students’ academic success, learning, and engagement by creating communities of students and faculty/staff through common courses, curricular innovations and co-curricular activities based on a major, theme, or interest. A learning community is an academic program designed to meet this mission.
