In consultation with Greenwich University, to increase the benefits of the AE/IE Degree Program, Greenwich students take the first 75% of all coursework ( 33 credits) with Greenwich faculty member Dr. Michael J. Cohen through the IGE Graduate Student Cooperative. This section usually includes the minimum 15 credits of core courses that are required to be an enrolled student. The actual number of additional courses you need to take varies because it is based on the number of applicable transfer courses you bring into the program.

Upon satisfactory completion of the 33 IGE credits, a student in good standing completes the remaining 12 credits of their doctoral program through the online Applied Ecopsychology/Integrated Ecology Department at Greenwich University. Students continue under the tutelage of Dr. Cohen, Greenwich Lead Faculty, throughout the final courses of the MS. program. The final project or thesis of the MS is evaluated by a dissertation committee comprised of Greenwich Faculty. Tuition is paid directly to Greenwich for the concluding 12 courses and academic services.

A total of 15 AE/IE core course credits must be taken as part of the Cooperative program and paid for during the first semester to be in good standing in the program. The course work for these credits may be distributed over five semesters. Students may start a 6-month semester at the beginning of any month after giving a one month prior notice. 6-15 credits may be taken each semester.
