The students are part of the Associate of Applied Science in Pragmatic Studies, a two-year program designed specifically for students who have learning differences.In a small classroom at the University of St. Thomas, Tera Torres talks her students through the tasks left to complete before they receive their diplomas.
“It’s hard to think the first cohort, it’s already that fast," Hughes, 20, said."Two years feels long, but it goes by quick.”Texas universities affirm need for diverse students amid changes to DEI policies Fan favorites were the “healthy relationships” and “academic strategies” courses, but the cohort also took classes including sacred scripture, criminology, environmental science and political science. Hughes, who said he struggles with executive functioning and comprehension, enjoyed his math courses the most.
Several of the associate’s students said they found a learning environment at St. Thomas unlike what they’ve ever experienced, with professors who give accommodations related to their differences but don’t treat them with less respect. Emily Mannikko, 26, said she prefers to submit assignments in essay format, while her classmate, Kasem Fletcher, does better with PowerPoint presentations. Another peer turns in sculptures.
"You have students who started, they wouldn’t look you in the eye," said Nicole Walters, founding dean of the Kolbe School of Innovation. The second cohort has 34 students, split into classes of no more than 12, and Torres is building the third associate's cohort for fall. Several of the current students are on the dean's list, she said.
