Learning Communities at DSU
You are here
Learning Communities are designed to make the transition to Delaware State University (DSU) easier, we at DSU offer students the opportunity to participate in Learning Communities (LCs) and/or Living-Learning Communities (L-LCs) during their first year. The purpose of a LC is to create connections. All LCs allow groups of students with similar interests to connect with each other, connect to campus activities, and connect to faculty.
What is a Learning Community?
A learning community (LC) is a group of students who have the same major and are enrolled in the same courses. A LC provides students with a strong academic foundation through integrative learning. This is accomplished by linking two or more courses across disciplines based upon a common theme or interest. This fall, based upon your major you may be in a linked course that is led by a dedicated faculty member who is committed to your academic success. The following is a list of our LC offerings; Apply online.
Learning Communities Themes (Linked Courses)
- College Advance (English Composition I and American History from 1865)
- The Physical Energy of Engineering (Physics and Engineering)
- Carefully Calculating Aerodynamics (College Algebra and Aviation)
- The Chemistry of Life (English Composition I and Chemistry)
- Organisms, Writing, and Problem-Solving (English Composition I, Biology, and Quantitative Skills)
- Accounting for Your Future (English Composition I and Accounting)
What is a Living-Learning Community?
A living-learning community (L-LC) allows students the option to live as a community of learners in a designated section of a residence hall for a particular cohort of students. L-LC students mingle with other students of various majors. The activities of the L-LC are organized by its creative coordinator, and in some cases, upper classmen. Below we have listed the L-LC offerings, please visit Living-Learning Community for more details.
Living-Learning Communities (Residential/Themed)

- Health & Wellness

What Can a Learning Community Offer Me?
Learning communities were created to help first year students successfully transition into college by providing a multilevel support system which includes faculty, staff, students, and peer mentors. Students who actively participate in learning communities have:
- Common classes

- Common faculty/instructor who are interested in your academic growth and development
- Peer mentors to whom you can turn to for extra support
