Q-STEM at LaGuardia is committed to providing an integrative educational experience. Our Learning Communities are at the heart of this commitment, offering you an opportunity to engage with your education in a more connected and collaborative way.
What Are Learning Communities?
Learning Communities at LaGuardia are structured groupings of multiple courses that revolve around a shared theme or academic goal. We offer two primary types:
- Clusters: A combination of three or more classes that delve into different aspects of a common theme or interdisciplinary area.
- Pairs: Two courses linked by overlapping content or complementary skills, designed to deepen understanding and application.
Students in Learning Communities have higher GPAs than students outside of Learning Communities. In addition, Learning Community students earn more credits than students who do not participate in Learning Communities, thereby progressing towards their degree faster.
