New Cohort Request: The USF College of Education cohort model is designed to allow educators the opportunity to collectively progress through a sequence of desired courses. Professionals within a cohort commit to a series of courses in a predetermined sequence to best meet the needs of the group. School Partnership Proposal: The University of St. Francis (USF) recognizes that profound learning occurs in a variety of formal and informal settings. As a way to recognize and encourage continuous life-long learning, USF offers professionals an opportunity to demonstrate their learning in these unique settings in order to earn graduate credit for select learning experiences outside the traditional classroom structure. This proposal is required when requesting that the option for graduate credit be available through USF’s College of Education.
