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' experiences,
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.
