Learning Communities

Learning communities are a great way for first-year students to make friends and learn the ropes quickly at Purdue.

  • attend two to three classes with other students in the same learning community
  • participate in extracurricular programs and trips
  • live in the same University residence as other students in the same learning community 

Research shows that students who take part in a learning community earn higher grades, assimilate sooner to college life, and graduate at higher or faster rates than students who don't participate.

Currently, there are four CFS learning communities:

  • CFS Honors
  • Global Consumer 2050
  • Team HTM
  • Entrepreneurial
