Learning Communities at COCC

COCC's Learning Communities are designed to provide entering students with a solid academic foundation that helps them achieve their educational goals. Learning Community participants benefit from the integrated instruction between their courses and the sense of community that develops between peers. Research has shown that Learning Communities can help students achieve higher academic success because of the collaborative approach of their instructors and the cultural focus of their classes.
