Benefits of Cohort-Based Learning

Higher Order Thinking: Cohort learning enhances critical thinking skills and helps students integrate new information with their experiences. Research shows that group learning can increase retention by 69%, compared to 72% when learning individually.

Community Building: This approach builds connections with you and your organization, regardless of location. It creates mutually beneficial teams and provides a safe space for difficult conversations and role-playing.

Engagement: Being engaged and committed, leads to higher completion rates and improved business outcomes.

Support: As you re-enter higher education from the professional world, our cohort-based learning provides valuable support and eases your transition, thanks to the strong relationships you’ll build.
