Residencies
Structured like business conferences, residencies provide hands-on experiences featuring prominent speakers who host relevant discussions and interactive panels. Each three-day weekend residency offers students the opportunity to meet classmates and professors face-to-face for workshops and networking. Residencies are offered on-campus, in other U.S. cities, and internationally. Online MBA students attend three, in-person residencies throughout the course of their program and master's students are welcomed when the topics are relevant to their degree program.
