Residency

During the course of your program, you must attend a total of four weeks of residency. One two-week, on-campus residency is required, while the other two weeks of residency time may be done in another two-week session, or in 2 one-week sessions. 

The annual M.S.Sc. on-campus, two-week residency at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University is held each July, with orientation on Sunday and the session ending on Friday. While some students register just prior to or during a residency, others begin coursework as much as a full year before their first residency.

During the first two-week residency in Syracuse, students spend a two-day weekend of lectures and discussion at Minnowbrook Conference Center, Syracuse University's conference center on Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondack Mountains, as part of the required Residency Seminar.
