Immersion
Immersion is an in-person learning experience required at four points throughout the program. Each immersion experience is one full day on campus, typically the first week of the designated semester. It provides students with an opportunity to engage with their instructors and peers, discuss and highlight important topics and check-in and receive support within a convenient and concentrated timeframe.
