Graduate Management Residency Planning

Integrated Reflective Practice (IRP) is an eight or six (MSL) week course that provides the basis of both the philosophy and the professional development perspective used in all subsequent management and MSL law courses. A significant feature of this course, that complements Champlain's unique on-line learning methodology, is a three day on-campus residency experience that features workshops, seminars, presentations, and team building activities designed to reinforce the IRP approach to graduate education and set the tone for each student's Graduate Program.

The IRP residency is offered three times per year, during the fall, winter, and summer. The schedule for the 2010 academic terms is as follows:

Summer semester, 2012 with campus dates of June 12 - June 14

Fall 1 semester, 2012 with on campus dates of September 27 - Sept. 29

Travel Planning

The formal agenda for the residency includes three full days of activities. If you are traveling from outside the Burlington, Vermont area you should plan to arrive the afternoon or evening before the residency begins and leave the day after the residency has concluded. Residency events begin at 8:00AM each morning and conclude at or around 8:00PM each evening.
