The PEAW 1300 First Year Experience course is also offered as a learning community experience! A Learning Community is a small cohort or group of students who share common academic goals, attitudes, and work collaboratively in the classroom with one or more professors.
The Trojan Soar Learning Community (TSLC) will ease your transition to college as you enjoy all that UA Little Rock has to offer. While participating in TSLC, you will be equipped with the skills to succeed in college. You will take a First Year Experience class and a Composition I class with the same classmates. These two courses will count toward any major and will have coordinated assignments to help ease the transition to college academics.
