First-Year Learning Communities are innovative offerings designed around clusters of General Education courses. A group of 25 students is enrolled in the same sections of 2-4 courses. Learning Communities are designed around interesting themes as well as disciplines and majors. With the additional support afforded by Learning Communities, students are much more likely to be successful at KSU.

All full-time, first-year students with fewer than 15 credit hours are required to sign up for either a learning community or a first-year seminar (KSU 1101). Students will register for either KSU 1101 or a learning community during Orientation.
