Learning Communities

What are Learning Communities?

Learning Communities (LC’s) are clusters or pairs of courses that students enroll in as a package. They are designed to help “first year” students feel oriented to college life.

MJC offers First Year Experience Learning Communities that include basic skills and transfer level course packages. Each cluster or pair of courses has a specific theme developed by the instructor.

What's in it for me?

• Students in learning communities are able to make connections between subjects and courses and gain critical thinking skills.

• Instructors in learning communities work together, often planning joint assignments and using the same readings for their classes.

How do I enroll in Learning Community classes?

You must enroll in ALL of the courses listed in a Learning Community package.
