The Challenge of Learning Communities as a Growing National Movement.

Abstract

Learning communities have become a growing national movement. We estimate that four or five hundred colleges and universities are offering them, and the number continues to increase. LC’s are now found in virtually every state, in both public and private colleges and universities, and in a diverse range of institutions. They are strongly present in both two year and four year colleges and universities, and in research universities, comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges. It’s clear that LC’s are a broad innovation that addresses a variety of issues, from student retention to promoting curricular coherence, from faculty and institutional revitalization to building engaging general education programs.
