Composition of the groups is determined in advance and a diverse cross-section of the class is sought in each group. The groups are the basis for problem-based learning, case projects and other group activities. Each learning group is assigned to a faculty member who provides both individual and group academic advising. In addition to the learning groups, a full-time academic counselor provides students with academic support, learning skills and personal counseling services. Health Services Health services are provided to all students through a contractual arrangement with Becker College, which is within walking distance of the Worcester campus.
Nursing staff is on duty during regular school hours.

Immunization services are provided and monitored by the Becker Health Services. Orientation An orientation program is held for students on the Worcester campus immediately preceding the beginning of classes in September.
