HECP Program Description
Length of Study
HECP students are required to complete a minimum of one course every four months and to complete the program within two years. Within this framework, students work at their own pace.
With rolling admissions and rolling matriculation, as well as the freedom to progress as quickly as you like, the HECP offers an extremely flexible option for those interested in becoming a humane educator.
Residency
HECP students are required to attend a five-day residency with IHE faculty at the Institute in Surry, Maine. This intensive training is offered up to twice a year. During residency training, you’ll hone presentation skills, receive and give critical feedback, and make deep connections with faculty and others in the program.

Mentoring
HECP students are offered mentoring on a monthly basis by IHE faculty. These mentoring sessions may take place via email or telephone, or in some cases, in person. Course readings and assignments can have a profound effect on individuals in the program, so IHE encourages students to take full advantage of the mentoring available. Mentoring enhances your educational experience and supports your personal and academic progress throughout your program of study.
Online Student Community
HECP students have access to IHE’s dedicated student discussion forum, the Online Classroom, through this website. In the Online Classroom, you’ll discuss assignments and program issues, post essays, communicate with faculty, and build community with fellow students. It is a vibrant, interactive source of guidance, inspiration, and community with like-minded people -- all essential components of distance-learning.
