Incoming students at the College of Coastal Georgia are embarking on a new journey in an unfamiliar environment. Despite their past academic success, students are often unprepared to deal with the rigors of college life, particularly during their first semester. So, as to provide them with the support and resources they need in order to excel, the College is offering incoming freshmen with an interest in Nursing and Health Sciences the opportunity to participate in a learning community in order to help start off their academic career on the right path.
If you are interested in more information about the Future Health Professionals Network, or Freshman Learning Community, please contact the following:
Students in the Freshman Learning Community will take a key group of their core classes together, including ENGL 1101, MATH 1101, PSYC 1101, and CHEM 1151+1151L.
Get to know your Nursing and Health Science faculty prior to joining the program. You’ll have the opportunity to know faculty outside of the classroom through special learning community events and activities.
Upperclassman students in the BSN program will serve as supplemental instructors for pre-nursing STEM classes. They will also serve as mentors, sharing their wisdom tips and tricks for success.
Learning Community students can elect to live in the Freshman Nursing wing in the Lakeside Village residence hall.
Being a part of a learning community is so much more than just attending classes together. It provides a sense of community for students with similar interests and goals.
