Arch Learning Community
The Dean College Arch Learning Community is designed for students with diagnosed learning disabilities and/or other learning challenges such as attention and memory difficulties who need additional intensive academic skill development. Through individual and group tutoring, smaller sized college level courses, and specialized academic advising, students will acquire the necessary skills to be successful in the collegiate environment. Our goal is to make students active participants in their education and take greater responsibility for their role in the learning process. The cost for the 2010-2011 academic year is $3500 per semester.
