What About TLCs Q: What are the advantages of enrolling in a TLC? A: • Students are able to meet and form a sense of community with others who have similar academic interests. • TLCs allow students to enroll in a cluster of courses, which will apply toward their major. If students have not decided on a major, they will complete general education requirements while doing some career exploration. • Students learn to study together, collaborate on projects, and depend on each other for support in the classroom. • Students are introduced to key information and begin to develop the skills needed to succeed in college.
Connections with friends and others are important to your success at IUPUI and in life. Themed Learning Communities (TLCs) provide opportunities for new students with similar interests to form study groups and connect with dedicated faculty by enrolling in a small group of courses together. Through these supportive connections, students in the TLCs generally achieve higher grades and better success in their academic careers. Ask your advisor how to sign up for a Themed Learning Community.
