What are the Raider Learning Communities?
The Raider Learning Communities (RLC) are courses that are linked together and/or
share a common cohort of students. General Education courses have been paired to form
communities. Since each community is made up of the same people, you get to know your
classmates very easily. This program is designed with first-year students in mind,
but any student who needs general education courses can participate.
Why should you participate in the RLC courses?
Research shows that students in learning communities have a higher GPA overall and
are more apt to continue their higher education until graduation. RLCs offer opportunities
for increased social and academic interactions. Since the students in one class are
also in the other, forming study groups and meeting friends can be very simple.
What classes are involved in this program?
The Raider Learning Communities classes are all courses that count towards a students
general education requirements. Therefore, regardless of your major, you can participate.
Some RLCs have been created with certain majors in mind, but any student can register
for them. See complete listing of RLC paired courses for specific classes offered
