As part of the EdD program, students are required to attend two in-person residency experiences. This requirement is outlined in your initial application for the program, your acceptance letter, and on the program website as “Online with On-Ground Residency”. Residencies focus on essential skills and tools for research and career success as well as provide opportunities to connect with faculty and fellow scholars. We recommend completing the first residency by the end of the first year and the second by the end of the second year. Both residency requirements must be completed prior to commencement.
