The focus of the cohort programs is cohesiveness and continuity. Your group will be pursuing professional goals by engaging in a set sequence of courses, beginning and ending the sequence together. This enhances communication and the quality of learning from one course to another. With its emphasis on cooperative groups, individual learning and project-based learning, the cohort format draws on like-minded professionals' common work experiences and interests. As your group proceeds through the sequence, you will build on shared academic experiences, leading to a rewarding educational experience.
