Like most enterprises, the Accelerated Degree Program is continuously being improved and changed to reflect emerging issues as well as input from adult students. Cohorts are made up of approximately 16 students with similar work and academic experience and are assigned to learning teams of four or five. These students stay together throughout the program and graduate at the same time. Working in teams, learning leadership and followership, gaining experience in consensus decision-making and problem solving are tasks which degree completion students must master as they move through their coursework. Presentation and project management assignments challenge adult students to higher levels of mastery and performance to qualify them for the most challenging and competitive business environment.
New cohorts begin every three or four months.
