Graduate Student Practice of Technology Management: The Cohort Approach to Structuring Graduate Programs

摘要

The experimental approach to graduate education based in the Cohort methodology is proving to be effective at creating a graduate educational environment that is valued by students, both on campus and in their early career workplace, and by their employers. The Cohort methodology has received national recognition through its success in acquiring external funding support of its educational development activities. The two applications of the Cohort methodology in graduate programs at the University of Arkansas will continue, and will continue to be assessed and reported in appropriate forums. The microEP graduate program would encourage inquiries from other programs interested in implementing this approach to graduate education, as additional implementations would provide valuable comparative data to our educational experiment.
