Program Delivery
The Master of Arts in Urban Studies is offered in a modified distance-learning format. That means it’s delivered in a hybrid of online and on the ground classes. In the Community Development and Youth Leadership concentrations students have two residencies per year—one in the fall and one in the spring. Residencies last 7-9 days. The Arts in Transformation Concentration has three residencies with one added in the summer time. Classes for the residencies are on the ground in Philadelphia. Prior to and after the residencies you will participate in an online classroom for discussions, videos, etc. For those who live locally we also offer at least one course per semester in a traditional, weekly, on the ground format that is typically scheduled one night a week in the evening. However, even local students cannot complete the program completely in a traditional evening format. Fall 2010 residency dates for new students: September 24-October 1, 2010. Spring 2011 residency dates: February 11-19, 2011.
