Learning Communities

A Learning Community is a group of freshmen with the same major or interests who take 2 or 3 of their core curriculum classes together during their first semester at UTSA. It's a voluntary program that assists first-year students academically and socially. Any freshman or transfer student with less than 30 credit hours can join!

Each Learning Community includes 25 freshmen. These students enroll in connected courses that they take together. For example, a student majoring in Biology may enroll in a Biology Learning Community. The community may have a Freshman Seminar that connects to Freshman Composition and a large Biology I lecture course. Since all of the students in this Learning Community would be Biology majors, the Freshman Seminar would not re-teach the Biology I course, but it would focus on Biology topics and events.
