- The Political Science and International Relations Learning Community is a year-long program designed to create a cohort of first-year students who share their passion for politics and world affairs. Learning community students take two classes together each semester in addition to a one-unit learning community course.
- The CLST Learning Community (Department of Chicana/o, Latina/o Studies) is for students from every major in every college to create a cohort among first-year, second-year or transfer students who identify with a Latine/Latinx experience. CLST Learning Community students can take up to two classes together, with all courses working toward graduation. Meet faculty and learn about their research, connect with other students who share your interests, and create an impassioned intellectual community at LMU.
- Undeclared students embody the heart of the liberal arts through curiosity, exploration, and openness to possibility. This learning community brings together a cohort of students enrolled in two connected courses designed to encourage reflection and discovery: BCLA 1000: Exploring the Liberal Arts (taught by their assigned academic advisor) and PHIL 1800: Philosophical Inquiry. Students are paired with a peer advisor and invited to participate in optional BCLA events. The community helps students explore BCLA majors, build meaningful connections, and gain clarity about their academic and professional direction.
