Important Notes

Mandatory In-Person Residential Session

The program begins in late June with a mandatory, in-person residential session on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York. All students attend this intensive learning opportunity featuring in depth coursework and networking with the entire cohort. A schedule and more detailed information will be available in the spring. Students should plan time off from work accordingly.

US Student Visas & Canada Study Permits

Any incoming student who is not a US citizen or permanent resident may require a student visa to attend the residential sessions in the US. Our office will contact you to provide more information about this process. If you have not been contacted, or if you have questions, please contact us.

Incoming students may also require a study permit to attend the residential sessions in Canada. More information about this process will be shared after the program begins.

Because residential sessions are held in the United States and Canada, all students must have a valid passport for the duration of the program.
