This includes class lectures, assignments, exams and group work. This innovative model allows for extreme flexibility. There are no class set times, so you can accomplish your course work according to your own schedule . . . You can expect to commit 15-20 hours per week to the program. Your learning experience is greatly enhanced through the cohort model, where a group of students works closely together throughout the entire program.
Students learn as much from each other as they do from the faculty.
They form strong personal and intellectual bonds that sustain them throughout the program and help them approach their work from an innovative and more global perspective. You and your cohort of 15 to 20 other students move through the program as a group, conducting all your online classes and campus visits together. As each cohort develops, we witness a cohesiveness that significantly contributes to individual progress and enhances the overall learning experience. You will build a valuable, long-term network of colleagues and benefit from the diversity of professional experience, geographic location and health care perspective that each member of your cohort brings to the program.
