Residencies at Carey Business School

The Flexible MBA program at Carey offers a few courses with a required two-day, in-person residency. Sections of three courses – Negotiation, Business Communication, and Leadership and Organizational Behavior – require online students to experience elements of interpersonal interactions to achieve learning goals. Residencies are an opportunity to truly experience the Carey Business School community and network with faculty, staff, and other students.

A typical residency lasts two days and includes opportunities for students to learn directly from their professor, collaborate with other students, and hear from outside speakers. These courses can also be taken in a virtual setting, so no student is obligated to take the sections with an in-person residency component.

: This course provides students with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to negotiate. Designed around a series of research-based negotiation exercises, the course exposes students to various negotiation situations to help them understand two fundamental approaches to negotiation. By reflecting on these exercises considering negotiation theory, students develop an awareness of their personal negotiation style, including its strengths and weaknesses.

By the end of the course, students will be able to negotiate in an effective, ethical, and culturally appropriate manner.

: This course refines students’ skills in business writing, public speaking, and interpersonal communication. Through analyses and practice of communication strategies adopted by successful business professionals, students learn to write clearly and concisely, deliver compelling presentations, and construct effective arguments.

: Leadership requires a deep understanding of human behavior – how we make sense of the world (or fail to do so), how we make decisions, what brings us together, and what sends us apart. Good leaders understand the power of motivation, the benefits and challenges of groups, and how to create a context where others will thrive and perform at their best.
The goal of this course is to help students leverage their knowledge of human behavior to enhance their overall effectiveness within organizations and their ability to lead. This course will provide students with analytical frameworks and practical experience designed to help them put learning into action, whether they are currently in a formal leadership role or not.

“I have had the good fortune to meet and network with my classmates in Baltimore because of the Leadership and Organizational Behavior residency. The experience was invaluable. There was an aura of energy and exuberance that connected all of us as we exchanged proposals, solutions, and ideas. Our professor was brilliant, fun, and kept us engaged as she challenged our perspectives on leadership. The class was dynamic, and it motivated us to be more expressive with our ideas and what each one of us can bring to the table.”
