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 1102 during Orientation.

For more information on New Student Orientation, contact the CAPS Center at 770-423-6600.

• Integrated assignments and experiences through General Education courses
• Popular classes during popular times
• Easier to form study groups
• Easier to get to know the other students in your classes
• Learn from full-time professors who are interested in first-year students
• Registration is fast and simple
