Low-residency program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Low-residency education was first developed in the U.S. at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont. A low-residency program is a form of education, normally at the university level, which involves some amount of distance education and some amount of normal class time. These programs are most frequently offered by colleges and universities which also teach standard full-time courses, and most presently existing are Master's Degree programs in Fine Arts, often teaching creative writing.
There are many low-residency MFA Creative writing programs, fewer in other graduate areas, and very few undergraduate options (Goddard College, Lesley University and Union Institute.)
