What is a STEM Learning Community?
In your first semester at the University of Arizona, be part of a learning community of other science, technology, engineering, & math (STEM) students from similar backgrounds. You will take between 1-3 classes together, connect with a peer educator through the Success in STEM 1 unit-course, and receive 1-on-1 support from a STEM Student Success Specialist. Each group of 20-25 students is called a Societal Impact Group (SIG), who take a class together based on an issue in society that is important to them.
