Key Executive Leadership Programs

The Cohort Experience

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 students. Key offers two cohort scheduling options:
