Learning Communities in Liberal Arts Colleges
Karen Spear, with others. National Learning Communities Project monograph series. 2003.
This publication begins with a history of learning communities' roots in liberal arts education. Four case studies examine different goals for learning communities (e.g., recruitment and retention, curriculum development), and snapshots of four other distinctive programs show the range of models for liberal arts colleges.
