Learning Better Together:
The Impact of Learning Communities on the
Persistence of Low-Income Students
Cathy McHugh Engstrom, Ph.D. and
Vincent Tinto, Ph.D. Syracuse University1

Abstract
This article describes the major findings from a longitudinal study of the impact of
learning communities on the success of academically under-prepared, low-income
students in 13 community colleges across the country. In this study, we employed
both quantitative longitudinal survey and qualitative case study and interview
methods. We utilized the former in order to ascertain to what degree participation
in a learning community enhanced student success and the latter to understand
why and how it is that such communities do so. The findings strongly support
adapting the learning community model to basic skills instruction to improve
learning and persistence for this population.
