Learning Center Resources and Services
The Brenham Learning Center offers students access to state-of-the-art educational technology. It maintains a library of resources such as instructional and tutorial software and supplemental textbooks and workbooks.
The Brenham Learning Center serves a multi-fold purpose. It is a friendly academically stimulating place. It is an environment in which a student can study, work on assignments and presentations, read, and write while having access to qualified professional assistance. The main strength of the BLC lies in its staff of professional educators. They provide one-on-one tutoring to each student on a walk-in basis or through referrals from faculty. They also conduct regularly scheduled tutoring sessions with small groups of at-risk students or students who recognize a weakness in certain areas. Their tutorial services are augmented by a staff of student peer-tutors qualified in various academic areas.
