The adult degree program employs a student cohort model. Students enroll together in a sequence of classes that lasts about two years. Cohorts usually consist of 14 to 25 students. Throughout the program, students primarily work with the same group of peers. Within the cohort, they also collaborate with a smaller group in a Learning Team. This component is designed to promote cooperative learning, participation, and peer support.
