COURSE SELECTION GUIDE

When choosing courses, refer to the detailed course descriptions on these web pages. Carefully review the course descriptions, content levels, and target audiences for those courses that interest you.

Every effort will be made to assign you to your first choice. Submit a completed registration form early to ensure that your first choice is available.

Course assignments are based on the date complete applications are processed.

Please note occasional circumstances beyond the control of the New England Institute may result in the cancellation of a small number of courses.

Most courses are (8.75) or (7.0) hours each, and occur in time tracks identified as Track A, Track B and Track C. Most students take three courses or workshops, one in each time track. Participants attending the full program will attend all tracks (A, B, and C). Participants attending the partial program will attend Tracks A and B.

A few courses are provided in a 15.75-hour format so students can concentrate on a specific subject in greater detail. The 15.75-hour courses meet during Track A and continue through Track B. Students take a second, 5.5-hour course during Track C.

A small number of 21.25-hour workshops are designed for students who wish to concentrate on a single, specific subject for the entire week. Students taking a 21.25-hour workshop participate in the same class throughout all three time tracks.

During the week, all students attend the major presentation held each morning and evening, plus one of the following combinations:

One course in each of the three time tracks: Track A, Track B, & Track C, or

One 15.75-hour course during Track AB, and a second course during Track C, or

One 21.25-hour course during Track ABC.

Courses are grouped according to the time track in which they are offered. Courses are identified within the descriptions according to areas of concentration, target audience and content level. Before choosing a course, carefully review the description to ensure that the content, target audience and level fit your needs.

Teaching Methodology: When teaching courses, faculty members utilize the following teaching modalities: lecture, audiovisual materials, and practical application in case presentations, group discussions, and experiential activities.
