Academic Small Groups

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.

Groups are led by a professional faculty member and are supported by a cadre of junior/senior level engineering student leaders.
