the course can be completed on-line over 3 weekends. Attendance is mandatory and will set the appropriate tone for Internet
learning. During Residency, participants are oriented to the program

and each other. The Residency is an intense learning experience
that occurs around a weekend. Evaluation is a pass or fail grade
and progression to the Degree Completion program is subject to obtaining
