Living-Learning Community

What is a Living-Learning Community?

A living-learning community is a cohort of freshman undergraduates who live in the same residence hall and take a portion of their classes together. In addition, special programming and extracurricular activities allow for the LLC students to interact in a more relaxed atmosphere.

The Health Professions Collaborative

Interested in being part of a program that will help shape the health professional you become after graduation? The Health Professions Collaborative may be right for you!

The Health Professions Collaborative is a program that places 24 students from the Dwight Schar College of Nursing & Health Sciences together in a living-learning community (LLC) during their freshman year. Students will also participate in a cohort where they will:

  • Connect to Ashland University
  • Identify as future health professionals
  • Develop a strong sense of citizenship, community and purpose
  • Engage in self-directed learning behaviors
  • Become life-long learners
