Wagner College's academic program emphasizes interdisciplinary study, experiential learning, and reflection on theory and practice. The curriculum is enhanced by a rich array of opportunities in New York City. In the course of their undergraduate studies, students enroll in three learning communities, two of which include experiential learning and reflective writing. Many learning communities incorporate the use of student groups to take advantage of the social and academic dynamics fostered in learning communities, and to add another element to students' reflection. Working in groups allows students to reflect on their own perceptions, assumptions, and new understandings, and those of their peers.
