Relational:
Students begin and end the program together in a “cohort” or learning team. This creates a supportive and enjoyable learning environment of like-minded learners in similar positions – balancing busy life schedules at home and work. And after your degree, they become a critical part of your professional network. Learn More
Adaptable:
Cohort groups start at different times throughout the year. The entire cohort portion of the program can be completed in approximately 16 - 18 months depending on how many credits you bring into the program. Learn More
Relevant:
Practical real-world or work-related experience is incorporated into the program through field placement and practicum courses. This provides students with relevant learning experiences through the blending of theory, skill development and reality. Learn More
Academic Excellence:
Courses are taught by highly qualified faculty with excellent academic credentials, communication skills, and real-world experience in the field.
