One of the major components of the University of Baltimore’s First-Year Initiative (formerly known as the Lower Division Initiative), is the formation of learning communities, linked sets of courses which groups of first and second-year students will take together.
In order to help University of Baltimore students, staff, and faculty understand what learning communities are and how they work, Langsdale Library has put together a bibliography on the topic:
