Core Courses:

Participants enroll in 6 credits during the fall (EDU 692 and EDU 693 ), 6 credits during the spring (EDU 694 and EDU 695 ) and 3 credits in the summer (EDU 626 ). Participants will complete the program within their cohort. In the Advanced Studies in Personalized Learning Certificate Program each Learning Community is co-facilitated by two instructors who follow the cohort through the entirety of the program. The Learning Community is a program in which participants meet together one weekend a month over a period of three semesters. While learning communities come together on a regular, scheduled basis, each learning community and the nested groups within this structure often create supplementary group time beyond the mandate of the program. Each course includes hybrid elements to supplement face-to-face and collaborative time.
