Cohort 80 - Class Schedule

This is a draft schedule and may be subject to change - updated August 4, 2020.

The 小蓝视频 MSOD consists of 11 courses (33 graduate credits) over approximately 21 months. Each course is taught over two 3-day class weekends held one month apart. Each class involves 2 weeks of preparation prior to a class weekend, the class weekend, and then 2 weeks of follow-up after a class weekend. One Residency course happens in each year of the MSOD program: the Use of Self Residency in the middle of the first year and the International Residency near the end of the curriculum. The MSOD program begins with a cohort retreat informally called Becoming A Learning Community, or Introduction to Experiential Education and the Learning Community, leading into the MSOD-specific orientation.
