Learning Communities

Montana Minds

Entering Montana Minds scholars will be placed in an appropriate Learning Community. Examples of two Learning Communities are shown below, one for students who are ready to enter Calculus and one for students whose first math course should be Pre-Calculus.

Learning Community A			Learning Community B
M 171	Calculus I	3 Cr	M 151	Pre-Calculus	4 Cr
SCIENCE	BIOL 117/172, CHMY 141, or GEO 101	3 Cr	SCIENCE	BIOL 117/172, CHMY 141, or GEO 101	3 Cr

Montana Minds scholars who are ready for calculus will be advised into M 171, Calculus I. Students who wern't quite ready for Calculus I will be advised into Pre-Calculus, M 151. We make every effort to enroll students into the mathematics course for which they are ready, which may be a lower level mathematics course than those listed above.The sections of the chemistry, communications, college success courses in these Learning Communities are set up, as nearly as possible, to be the same so that Montana Minds scholars generally would only be split up based on their math placement. In addition to the courses in these Learning Communities Montana Minds scholars would be advised to enroll in one other 3 credit course, most likely a course which would satisfy part of our general education core.
