What is the profile of previous cohorts?
Students from the previous cohorts live in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. They range in age from 24 to 65, and hold a variety undergraduate degrees in elementary education, English, psychology, art history, zoology, communications, social work, urban planning, sociology, speech, biology, and mechanical engineering. Many students also hold additional advanced degrees. Though most members of the cohort do have library experience, several members have less than one year experience. The cohort concept makes it possible for all FastTrack MLIS students to learn from other cohort members. The range of backgrounds, experiences and interests adds to the discussions, projects and overall learning experience of each student.
