Arthur Martinez, 2022 Ed.D. Graduate
We are a unit. It’s a second layer, you have your chair, you have the professors you are working with, and then you have your cohort members. You help each other and support each other.
Danielle Point Du Jour, Current Ed.D Student
The cohort model is amazing, especially for the working professional. We have group chats, project chats, and even sometimes personal chats. I’m glad I didn’t do the journey alone.
