Argosy University Residency Program

All doctoral students attend a minimum of two residency programs designed to enhance student success, provide the opportunity to network, meet faculty, and acquire knowledge and skills that will assist throughout their program. The residency programs will be offered at various locations throughout the academic year.

The Argosy University Residency Program is a chance for our doctoral students to connect with fellow students as well as University faculty. It gives Argosy University a chance to enrich our students lives and introduce them to Argosy University in a professional, yet fun atmosphere.
