Power of Two Classes

The Power of Two Learning Communities

Students may choose a learning community that fits them. In integrated learning communities, professors from each course collaborate with each other to design class work and activities that support learning in both courses. In cohort learning communities, the courses are independent from each other, but the students taking the classes together share a common interest in a major or career.
