How it Works
The Cohort Option: Study in a Group With Other Employees at Your Company
Corporate students can complete graduate degrees or graduate courses by taking them online on an individual basis, or as part of an in-person or online corporate cohort sponsored by their employer.
In the cohort option:
- Discussions take place with sponsor leadership and Stevens faculty and designate POC to ensure the meeting of goals and skill development for the students in the cohorts.
- As a result of these discussions, electives are chosen and courses are tailored to meet specific sponsor needs. Case studies are chosen which address those particular needs.
- The 12-25 students in the cohort progress through the 10 master’s degree courses or the four graduate certificate program courses together as a group.
- The experience provides opportunities for teamwork and relationship building. Related issues of the Corporate Sponsor can be discussed openly among colleagues within the cohort.
- Participants have the ongoing support of the Stevens’ Corporate Care Center from the time they apply though the awarding of the degree or the graduate certificate.
