An MBA degree is a perfect way to define the cohort model in program. This is an educational context.

A cohort program is defined as a group of people banded together or treated as a group in a degree program or course of study.

In some simple way to view a cohort program is as a group of classmates.

Cohort Model:

As per the MBAs Learning cohorts are a team, group, or community of people with shared interests and goals who progress through an educational experience together.

Their benefit is based upon certain educational theories of how people learn and the desire for support, teamwork, and shared resources.

One of the key factors to emerge over the years is the value of learning from your classmates as well as from your professor.

Based on the success of the cohort experience, more programs are adopting this platform.

Benefits of a Cohort MBA Program:

The MBA Cohort model is a shared learning experience that features enriching discussions of real-world business issues among a diverse group of professionals.

Collaboration, leadership and teamwork skills, necessary for success in workplace

Interactive learning that enables students to think independently and develop their own conclusions and ideas

Cultivation of professional and personal networks that may continue long after the degree has been awarded

It is a clearly-defined timeline and format allowing working professionals to pursue an MBA without giving up their day job

Advantages
Subjects in cohorts can be matched, which limits the influence of confounding variables
Standardization of criteria/outcome is possible
Easier and cheaper than a randomized controlled trial (RCT)

Disadvantages
Cohorts can be difficult to identify due to confounding variables
No randomization, which means that imbalances in patient characteristics could exist
Blinding/masking is difficult
Outcome of interest could take time to occur
