Our Program

The Chemistry Learning Center offers a supportive learning environment where students work with instructors in small groups. All students are welcome to apply, and though it is helpful to apply early, our program does not function on a first-come first-serve basis. We consider each student on a case-by-case basis taking into account available program capacity. Our program works with students in the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE), Center for Educational Opportunity (CeO), PEOPLE, and Posse programs. We also encourage first generation or low income students, Mercile J. Lee Scholars, non-traditional students, students-at-risk of failing the course or re-taking the course after earning a D or F, students on academic probation, new transfer students, veterans just returning after full-time military service, McBurney Center students, and students with extenuating circumstances to apply.
