Learning Community for DGS Students

 

     Not everyone has a clear career path when they arrive at the University. The General Studies Learning Community provides students with the opportunity to explore their options, to understand their talents, and to find a match between their skills and career plans. Major selection services, support in developing productive study skills, strengths assessments, and career planning are all a part of being in this community.

Courses:
Fall Semester: Writing: Rhetoric as Inquiry (ENGL 150) , College/Major Forum (EDPS 097) , Introductory Geography (GEOG 140 ) , Philosophy and Current Issues (PHIL 106)

Community Location: Abel Hall
