Freshman Learning Communities

Get connected at The University of Alabama through Freshmen Learning Communities (FLC), a pre-planned schedule of courses that pairs you up with other students with similar interests and sets your education on the right track.

How It Works

The 25 or so students in each Freshman Learning Community take 3-5 classes together. The FLC 101 course is a one credit weekly meeting of students and a faculty advisor that serves as the central focus of the freshman learning community. By selecting a topic, you will automatically be placed into a set of core courses related to a common theme during your first semester at UA.
