“I appreciate the cohort model as I found great support and camaraderie with my classmates. It was also comforting to know that on the journey (particularly the dissertation portion of the program), I had other classmates who were going through the same experience who offered encouragement, guidance and acted as a sounding board for ideas and problem-solving.”
