Spring Learning Communities classes released

Peanut butter and jelly. Hall and Oates. Scratch and sniff.

All of them are great by themselves, but paired with one another they become American institutions.

 

That’s a lot like Learning Communities.

 

This unique learning opportunity available at Collin College pairs two typical college courses together for one gigantic classroom experience unparalleled. Two professors from two seemingly distant disciplines wrap their brains around one common subject.

 

The result is six total credit hours and a full-fledged college classroom blowout.
