Business Learning Community
LeBow Business Learning Community students in New York City
If you are a high academic achiever and want to take extra steps to get ahead of the game, then LeBow College’s Business Learning Community (BLC) might be for you.BLC enrolls a group of freshman business majors each year that want to be part of a peer-to-peer network that offers support both academically and socially. Enrolling in BLC enables you to take advantage of seminars, networking opportunities and an upperclassman mentor to gain every advantage during college that will help you succeed in your career.
BLC is kind of a college lifestyle. On-campus BLC students live together in the same residence hall, and there is a lounge available for commuters in the Creese Student Center. BLC students take at least two courses together and are encouraged to work together on classroom assignments, projects, and in co-curricular organizations.
BLC has a lot to offer:
- Lasting friendships
- Academic and social events
- Assistance with homework, midterms and finals
- Civic Engagement opportunities
Upperclassmen mentors work closely with BLC students to help them achieve their goals. BLC students also attend academic enrichment workshops and field trips to develop leadership skills, and they earn a Creating Excellent Organizations (CEO) certification. They also participate in Community Projects that help local communities, and they are required to participate in a student organization, which helps them become more well-rounded and marketable to co-op employers.
A BLC Student Advisory Board is organized each year to get students involved in BLC’s planning and decision making.
Only incoming freshman may apply. Please visit the Requirements page for more details.
