Business & Communication Learning Community

This Learning Community (LC) is for students with a major in the Accounting, Business, Finance and Communication areas. For the 2026-2027 academic year, this community will be located in Dahl Hall.

Common Courses

Students in a Learning Community receive priority registration for designated common courses that are required for their major and connect them with peers in their LC. You’ll be pre-registered for these courses prior to SOAR (student orientation, advising, and registration). 

Fall Courses

  • FYE 101: First Year Experience (1 credit) - (Required for all)
  • BUS 101: Business First Year Experience (1 credit) - (Bus/Acct/Finance Majors only)
  • COMM 100: Speech Communication (3 credits) - (Comm majors only)

Learning Community students also receive seats in Spring courses, which your Mentor will assist you with during the advising and registration process.
