Ohio University Learning Communities

Ohio University Learning Communities A Learning Community (LC) is a group of students who take a common set of courses together or share a common experience around their academics.

Learning Communities (LCs) are designed with academic success and life outside the classroom in mind. All students want to feel at home, get to know people easily, and do well academically. Ohio University's Learning Communities bring all aspects of student success together in a fun, engaging, and collaborative environment. The five main objectives of Learning Communities are:
1. Create learning-b

ased peer networks
2. Improve the academic success of first-year students
3. Improve student retention from the freshman to sophomore year
4. Increase student satisfaction with Ohio University
5. Increase student-faculty interaction outside the classroom

Summer orientation is here, Bobcats! We’ve been hard at work creating Learning Community Clusters designed to help you connect, explore, and thrive here at OHIO. You’ll choose your specific community during orientation, and it’s one of the best ways to kick off your OHIO experience.

Each community includes a Learning Community Seminar, taught by a dedicated faculty or staff member and a student leader, along with courses you need to stay on track for graduation. It’s your built‑in support system from day one. We can’t wait for you to join us!
