Science Learning Community
This Learning Community (LC) is for students with a Biology or Chemistry major. For the 2026-2027 academic year, this community will be located in South Snarr.
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).
