Residency Requirements
Doctoral programs at Walden University require 32 units of academic residency, and some master's programs have specific courses and specializations with residency requirements. Students enrolled in Doctoral programs must attend an initial residency within the first three quarters of starting their program and attend a core summer residency within two years. Experience has shown that new students are best served by attending the first academic residency available after they have enrolled. Students may earn their remaining residency units at times and locations that are most convenient to them.
These face-to-face sessions allow students to work together with faculty members and academic staff in a variety of activities, such as plenaries, seminars, colloquia, individual advising and classroom instruction. Residencies are held throughout the year at locations across the United States.
