Discription:
Offering an interdisciplinary qualitative approach, this book examines and evaluates the role and
benefits of a Learning Community (LC), a high-impact practice for student retention in higher
education. Grounded in in-depth case studies and first-person student experiences, the authors
studied four student cohorts (sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate students) who participated
in a full immersion LC experience at an urban public four-year college in New York. Focusing on
the maturity students develop as they progress toward their degrees, the authors evaluate the
impact of the learning community on the students&#8217experiences, perceptions, successes and
obstacles. A powerful demonstration of the effects of connection and comradery on learning, this
account explores how the LC helps the decision-making of those in higher education
administration regarding high impact student interventions.
