Learning Communities for Pre-Majors

Pre-major learning communities are a set of programs designed to help pre-major students explore the link between their interests and experiences and academic opportunities at SUNY Cortland.

Learning communities lead to greater student satisfaction and success in the first year of college by helping students connect with faculty, learn about the campus, and collaborate with other students.

A learning community is a group of students and faculty involved with a set of two to five content courses that address common themes. Students enjoy being able to take classes with the same group of students and with highly motivated faculty.

Pre-Majors select a learning community in their first semester. The fall 2008 learning communities for Pre-Majors include:

American History and Music

Backgrounds in Art

Earth and Sky

Forming History

Health and Wellness

Human Communication

Our Storied Land

Outdoor Adventure and Recreation
