Cohort Programs

The Department of Administrative Leadership has offered graduate students the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree in educational administration and/or licensing credentials through a non-degree post-master’s program in an off-campus accelerated cohort model for many years. Many candidates have successfully earned administrative licenses through sustained study with their peers in classes taught by UWM’s nationally recognized faculty in convenient locations across Southeastern Wisconsin. The cohort model programs are offered for all licenses including the Superintendency. Most candidates finish their programs within 2 years.

The Department of Administrative Leadership currently has two locations for its 2-year accelerated programs: Metro Milwaukee and UW Green Bay.

The METRO cohort meets at the Bryant & Stratton campus on W. Potter Road in Wauwatosa, near the Mayfair Mall. Classes typically meet one night per week during the school year and students take up to six credits per semester. Class times differ in the summer but are typically offered in 6-week sessions with extended afternoon or morning sessions. This location serves students from the greater Metropolitan area, including Western and Southern Milwaukee suburbs.

The GREEN BAY cohort meets at the UW Green Bay campus in Green Bay, WI and is offered through a collaborative agreement with the department of education at UW Green Bay. UWM regular faculty travel to Green Bay to teach the courses and students typically enroll in 3 – 6 credits taught by UW Green Bay faculty. Typically, these classes meet one night per week. In addition, the UWM Urban Education doctoral program is offered in a cohort model at the UW Green Bay location.
