We are excited to promote a new opportunity with our faculty partners in the First Year Learning Community! A Learning Community (LC) is an innovative class that is taught by two or more instructors who fully integrate course work to explore a single theme through multiple subjects. The dynamic, interactive learning environment includes student seminars, field trips, group projects, performances, guest speakers, co-curricular activities, and action research – anything but your traditional classroom fare. The class can be a full course load with a total package of 8-15 credits in one learning experience.
Learning Communities meet Seattle Central’s Associate of Arts degree requirement of 8 credits of integrated studies. After taking one LC, students rave about the experience and are eager to enroll in others as they continue their college journey.
