The degree completion program, similar to more than 380 adult programs nationwide, is designed to meet the needs of individuals, usually age 26 or older, who are currently employed and have at least four years of significant work experience. The program is structured according to the standards set forth by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL).
Upon acceptance into the program, learners will be assigned to a cohort, or group of approximately 20 adult working professionals, all of whom are completing degrees. The cohort will progress through the core courses together, meeting four hours per week for class for approximately two years. Cohorts frequently form work and study groups as members learn from and support one another during their college experience.
The accelerated nature of the program requires cohort members to commit to approximately 10–15 hours per week of reading, studying, research, and writing. In-class lecturing is kept to a minimum as learners interact with one another, discussing assigned readings and application of text theories to their respective work environments.
