What is the purpose of having residencies?
Residencies in North America, Europe, Asia, and other international locations allow for close interaction with faculty, about six to eight hours per day, as well as highly interactive work with team members and contact with the program staff. Students learn to think on their feet and to benefit from the team building and communication building, which is endemic to a face-to-face environment. Residencies help prepare you for the Internet-mediated portion of the program in addition to assisting in the understanding of the regions of the world and integration into the learning experience.
