Undergraduate Program - Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL)

The Peer Led Team Learning Model utilizes peer-led group activities among students to enhance student understanding of science and engineering topics. PLTL provides an active learning environment that creates leadership roles for undergraduates and engages faculty in a creative and revolutionary new method of teaching. Visit the national PLTL website for more information.
