Learning Community #14:

TRANSFER SUCCESS LEARNING COMMUNITY

Pre-requisites: Students enrolling in this learning community must be newly admitted to EOP for the Fall 2012 semester as a transfer student.

DESCRIPTION:
Incoming EOP Transfer students will have the great opportunity to learn in a community atmosphere as they transition to the Sacramento State experience. Students enrolling in this learning community will take the following: HRS 161, Ethnic Studies 115, and Ethnic Studies 198. The focus of the community will be on an exploration of multicultural America along with an investigation of biracial and multiracial identities. Learning together students will acquire the knowledge and skills to understand cultural issues in a broader sense while learning about their own cultural identities. The courses in the learning community will also enable students to learn about career development and planning, as well as allow for the acquisition of skills needed to be successful in college and life beyond college through the Ethnic 198 course. Students enrolling in this learning community will be provided with a one- time EOP stipend to assist with book and other related college costs. Enrollment in the learning community is strongly recommended to aid in one’s transition from the community college to a 4-year institution of higher education. Students registering for this learning community will complete 6 of the 9 units required of upper division GE courses which must be completed in residence at Sacramento State.
