Creating a Study Plan

As part of their low residency degree program, Goddard students design their own individualized curriculum tailored to their interests and their academic, personal, and professional goals. These unique study plans provide the framework for Goddard's rich and diverse learning experience. 

During the eight-day low residency which begins each semester, students work one-on-one with their faculty advisor to develop their long-term plan of study, as well as the specific goals of each semester.  Advisors help to clarify learning objectives, structure components of the study, and inform choices in experiential learning activities.  This close collaboration during the residency is continued throughout the semester.
