What is a cohort?

A cohort is a group of individuals who share common characteristics or experiences within any defined period. A student cohort could be defined by shared attributes such as entry year, academic program, academic performance, and demographic and geographic factors, to name a few. A cohort could also be faculty, alumni, and even prospective student applicants. Correspondingly, the attributes that bind a cohort vary in many dimensions.
