Domestic Residency
Residency periods enhance teamwork and provide interaction between students and faculty. These periods are also critical to the accelerated 20-month format. Students stay in a Colonial Williamsburg hotel near campus and attend four classes a day on most days. Evenings include completing assignments, meeting with study teams, special events and socializing.

At the very beginning of the ExecutiveMBA Program, new students convene in Williamsburg. The focus of the first residency is Leadership. Members of the class begin working with their teams immediately by participating in team-building exercises, including a ropes course. These activities help develop the bonds that will be a critical asset as they move forward in the program. |
The academic focus of the third semester is strategy integration. Every moment of the week is filled with learning, even if some of those educational experiences involve a golf club or spa trip.The international trip destination is announced and the class elects class officers. |
The third residency week is held at the beginning of the fourth semester, at the same time a new class is starting. The focus of this residency period is Ethics. In addition, the senior class members focus their attention on business policy and strategy, managing change in organizations and other relevant topics. They are also given the rewarding opportunity to mentor the incoming class. |
