Learn

L.E.A.R.N.™, or the Learning Environment and Academic Research Network (LEARN™), is a program that focuses on undergraduate research and students' academic success. The program was created as a collaborative National Science Foundation funded initiative that was launched in partnership with Florida Atlantic University, University of Central Florida, and Western Carolina University. By working with on-campus partners, LEARN™  provides a select group of freshman and transfer students with an inquiry-based/hands-on learning experience through undergraduate research.
