Learning Communities

Learning Communities engage like-minded students to connect and learn together through guidance from peer mentors, faculty, staff and advisors. They focus mainly on enhancing students’ learning experience and provide opportunities for academic, personal and social development.

Learning Communities support a very large and diverse portion of the freshmen population at NJIT. Learning Communities strive to increase student success, bonding and retention.  Learning Communities utilize a strong network of faculty, staff, academic advisors and peer mentors to provide students with a highly organized support structure to help them transition smoothly to college. 

We believe that participating in Learning Communities will be one of the most signification NJIT experiences for incoming freshmen, thus becoming an effective retention tool.
