Living Learning Communities
As an individualized studies major, you may choose from 2 living learning communities (Housing, Dining, Recreation, & Business Services website) in Peabody Hall:
- Invent Your Major, which is designed for students who want to explore their academic options, or
- Inquiry and Discovery, which is designed for students who want to work on creative projects such as the undergraduate journal Mi CUP of TEA.
However, you may major in individualized studies and choose not to enroll in a Western living learning community.
