The Cohort Experience

a Key cohort

In the Key Executive Leadership Programs, the word "cohort" refers to an integrated community of learners who take a prescribed sequence of courses in unison and work together in a collegial environment.

The Key cohort experience develops a supportive environment that enhances students' self-awareness, substantive knowledge, and skills; promotes continuous learning, reflection, and personal change; and encourages student networking and team building.

Cohorts in both the MPA and Certificate programs are capped at twenty-four students. Key offers a variety of cohort scheduling to meet agencies' needs.
