Place-Based Learning Communities
Over the course of a student’s first year in a Learning Community at Humboldt, they are immersed in a tight-knit group of students who share their interests and curiosity for the world.
A unique and innovative model, learning communities offer students a built-in network of faculty and peers who help them navigate college life, all while making new friends and connections. As a result, students gain confidence and become better prepared for their future studies at Humboldt.
