FIRST Learning Communities
Learning Communities by Major

Listed below are degree programs offered at CSI and FIRST Learning Community numbers that will satisfy the general education requirements for each program. Some majors have many learning communities that satisfy these requirements; students are encouraged to register for learning communities that have coursework in their intended program of study, where possible. For example, a student considering declaring sociology as a major would be encouraged to register for a learning community containing Sociology 100; the ideal learning community choice for a student majoring in economics would be the one containing Economics 101, etc.
