Academic Small Groups

Next-Level Support of Student Success

Groups help students master the core curriculum of chemistry, math, and physics, while learning to approach problem solving in a manner that prepares for upper-level courses.
Groups are led by a professional faculty member and are supported by a cadre of junior/senior level engineering student leaders
15:1 student teach ratio
Format is a blend of instruction and active learning
Small Groups are synched with the co-requisite course, and keep pace with weekly course content, assignments, and exams to help you stay on track.

Popular among SEAS students, our optional Academic Small Groups provide freshman with the opportunity to review foundational course material with professional faculty in a small group setting.

With a 15:1 student teach ratio, participants can receive a high level of support that's not always possible in a lecture-style classroom.

Small groups cover material from first year courses in calculus, chemistry and physics. The format blends instruction and active learning.

Students can attend Academic Small Groups voluntarily as their schedules will allow. However, a simple online registration is required prior to the scheduled time due to high demand.
