MACD Cohorts | Child Development

Master’s Student Cohorts

Our Master’s in Child Development (MACD) program emphasizes community and collaboration. Each cohort of students can serve as a community, supporting one another academically and personally throughout their graduate journey. The cohort model encourages lasting connections, professional development, and opportunities for peer mentorship.

Each year, a diverse group of students joins the MACD program, bringing unique perspectives, experiences, and areas of interest in Child Development. As you progress through the program, your cohort will serve as a vital network of support, offering feedback, encouragement, and camaraderie as you take classes together and work toward your academic and professional goals.

What to Expect from the Cohort Experience:

Collaboration: Cohort members may work together on projects, research, and professional development activities. These collaborations help deepen your understanding of the field and broaden your perspectives.

Peer Support: From study groups to social events, your cohort will be an invaluable resource for navigating the challenges of graduate school.

Networking: The connections you form with your cohort extend beyond the classroom and can lead to valuable professional relationships throughout your career.

Mentorship Opportunities: Second-year students and beyond frequently provide mentorship to incoming students, sharing insights and advice based on their experiences in the program.
