The Residency

Each semester in the low residency Masters in Individualized Studies Program begins with an eight-day residency on the Goddard campus in Central Vermont. During the residency, students work one-on-one and in small advising groups with their faculty advisor to develop learning goals and plan the work of the semester in an atmosphere that is strongly supportive and encouraging of dynamic, innovative thinking.

Students also attend seminars, workshops, mini-courses, graduating student presentations, and group discussions, providing opportunities for concentrated learning and a solid basis for independent study during the semester.
