Abstract | Student retention and lack of encouragement are post-secondary institutional barriers that play a critical part in why African Americans are represented in small numbers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) (National Science Foundation, 2017). Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have always promoted a supportive learning atmosphere for African American students. Living learning communities (LLC) were created to improve academic outcomes and to encourage social engagement. The findings of this study suggest that an LLC at an HBCU plays an integral role in sustaining programmatic retention of STEM majors and improving the academic as well as in social outcomes of first-year science and technology students.
