studentsPurpose

The Minnesota State University, Mankato Learning Communities Program provides an opportunity for incoming first year students to join a community that supports their academic success and transition to college life, as well as encourages students to involve themselves in the different opportunities we have to offer on campus!

How they work

Learning Community students take some of their semester classes together and many live on the same residence hall floor providing an excellent opportunity to connect with other first year students. Each Learning Community has their own Learning Community Coordinator (LCC) who is dedicated to the academic success of every member as they transition to college life at Minnesota State, Mankato. The LCC assists each student in setting academic goals, develops study groups for the community, and plans service work, cultural appreciation, and other events.

Make the most of your first year!

You're only a first-year student once-and it's the only chance you have to become part of one of Minnesota State Mankato's residential Learning Communities.  You'll meet other students with similar interests and passions, and you'll discover activities that suit you as a student and a person.  You'll live and learn in an environment designed specifically for success on campus and beyond.


"The learning community has done more for me than I could ever imagine.  It has connected me with the campus, to the faculty, and not to mention the best friends I have gained for life.  It has helped me stay focused on my goal, and is preparing me for the future.  This positive experience has been filled with support, knowledge and friendships.  I do not think that I could have done this well and gotten this far without it".  - Current Learning Community student
