This chapter describes the senior learning community in psychology at Wagner College, which is an example of a discipline‐specific curriculum‐based learning community (LC). This LC acts both as a capstone to the undergraduate experience and as a transition for students from college to career. We describe the components of the LC, their development, our attempts to integrate them, and how they might be applied in other intradisciplinary LCs.
