The Key Communities are highly diverse first and second year learning communities designed to assist students with their transition to and through the university. Based on active and experiential learning through interdisciplinary classes, service-learning, academic and career exploration, undergraduate research and leadership development, Key aims to increase retention and academic performance of participants, encourage campus and community involvement, and promote diversity awareness.

There are two Key Communities for first-year students: the Key Academic Community and the Key Service Community. The Key Plus Community is a sophomore year program for students who participated in Key Academic or Key Service.
