Computer Science Learning Community

Enhance your computer science degree with the Computer Science Learning Community (CSLC).  The CSLC brings together students, staff and faculty who share academic interests in the fields of computer science, software engineering and computer systems science.  You’ll take classes together (both computer science and a college success course), share ideas, and have fun with like-minded friends.  Several upper-level students will serve as resident assistant, program coordinator, and mentors on your floor, ensuring that you learn your way around campus, get involved, make friends, and get help with any academic challenges.  The CSLC is located on the third floor of East McNair Hall.
