From 2013 through 2021, the Washington Center published Learning Communities Research and Practice (LCRP), an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provided a forum for higher education faculty, staff, researchers, administrators, and students to share current research, effective practices, critical reflections, and resources related to student learning communities in higher education. The purpose of LCRP is to promote practices and knowledge that would strengthen the learning community field.

The National Learning Communities Collaborative — a cohort of practitioners, researchers, and organizations — has developed a national resource directory for living-learning community, residential college, coordinated studies, and linked-course learning community programs. The directory is searchable by state, region, and institution type. We encourage learning community faculty and practitioners to use this directory to build community, share resources, and learn from one another.
To update an existing entry or to add your institution to this directory, please visit the National Learning Community Directory Submission Form.
The directory is hosted by the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education. Please direct questions, suggestions, or other comments to washcenter@evergreen.edu.
