Cohort Model of Learning

At 海角社区, nursing students enter the program as part of a cohort — a group of peers who begin the nursing major together and progress through the curriculum as a unit. This model fosters a strong sense of community, collaboration, and support that enhances both academic success and personal growth.

Key Benefits of the Cohort Model of Learning:

• Built-in Support System: Students share the same courses and experiences, creating immediate opportunities for collaboration, study groups, and mutual encouragement.

• Sense of Belonging: The cohort model reflects our “All In” spirit—emphasizing community, accountability, and shared goals throughout the program.

• Teamwork and Collaboration Skills: Working closely with peers mirrors the interprofessional nature of healthcare, helping students develop essential communication and teamwork skills critical for nursing practice.

• Lifelong Connections: Cohorts often form lasting friendships and professional networks that continue well beyond graduation, offering support and opportunities throughout a nursing career.

At EIU, we believe success in nursing is not just about individual achievement—it's about growing and learning together.
