The St.FX MEd Programs are divided up into umbrella options for how courses are taken. Cohorts is an option where groups of students take classes based on geographic location in their given program along side others taking the same program. The second option is to be a Non-Cohorts student. These individuals have the opportunity to select a broader range of electives and take classes based on their own schedule.
