Hands-on Learning
ARC students participate in faculty lead excursions, introducing them to unique hands-on learning experiences. From banding hummingbirds to live kitchen demos, our students get many opportunities for hands-on learning.
The Agriculture Residential College (ARC), located in the recently renovated Blake Hall, is a living-learning community for first-year students of all majors in the College of Agriculture.
ARC allows students to live and take classes with the same group of peers, thus creating a smaller network within the larger LSU campus.
ARC will offer opportunities to travel and host special interest lectures focusing on the diverse needs of today’s ever-changing world.
Living in ARC provides students with the opportunity to network with others with the same interests, form relationships with faculty members and become involved in unique co-curricular experiences to enhance your degree program and your LSU experience.
