Is the first course mandatory (Acct 5505 in residence)?
Yes, the first course (Acct 5505) is mandatory and is in-residence at the Storrs campus. It is the course that will provide the cohort group of students and faculty a sense of community and shared expectations, and will help students become familiar with the technology used in the program. Those students who are not from the local area will be expected to stay in the area for the week with friends, relatives, or at a local hotel. Applicants with an academic conflict (e.g. finals or commencement) need to contact the program manager.
