What is a cohort and how does it work?
In PSM’s cohort model, a group of students advance through the program together, taking a specified set of courses in a predetermined sequence through to the conclusion of the degree. This model has increased the retention and graduation rates among working adults in other programs composed of part-time students. Another advantage of this model is the bonding and collaboration that is likely to occur with individuals who share not only similar goals and the associated demands of the program, but also common knowledge of their work environment. The cohort itself develops a personality and style that will become an additional support as well as a problem-solving tool as the students move toward achieving their goals.
