Candidates are required to attend the nine day residency
in St. Kitts. Since 1979, the University has held its conferences,
lectures, classes, oral examinations, graduation ceremonies and awards
at a major hotel and resort. Here, candidates, faculty and
administrators interact. The opportunity to meet creates an environment
of professional, academic and social bonding. Many candidates, as well
as alumni, bring their families and friends to share this experience.
