This type of community is based on mutual respect and goals for academic success. The learning community refers to classes in which the subject matter and ways of investigating questions in two or more fields are integrated. The class may be designed around a unifying theme or, as in occupational or developmental programs, based on courses that reinforce the students special needs. In principle, students learn from students and faculty and faculty learn from students and each other. At Cerritos College, learning communities integrate two or more courses from different disciplines.
Most faculty feel that fully integrating the courses provide a richer experience for everyone.
The LC Program is located in SS 217.
