What are FYE Learning Communities?
An FYE LC links two courses through shared themes, activities, and assignments. These courses almost always fulfill General Education requirements. Instead of enrolling in two separate courses, you take the classes together with the same students, all of whom are entering freshmen. In addition, the two professors work closely together to plan the syllabus, design the assignments, and ensure that what you learn in one class is relevant to what you learn in the other class.

Why take LC classes?
- Smaller class size
- Form friendships and study groups
- Work with outstanding professors
- Explore John Jay and New York City
- Learn more, learn in different ways
