Schedule

The class schedule for MAPP includes both residence class hours (taught on-site) and non-residence class hours (taught via distance learning). Please note: It is not possible to complete the MAPP Program solely via distance learning at this time.

Residence class hours are taught during ten meeting times over the course of the year. The first on-site meeting is five days and includes an introduction to the program and an orientation to the University of Pennsylvania. The remainder of the on-site residence class hours are taught during three-day (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) meeting times.

Distance learning class hours, scheduled in the weeks between on-site meeting times, are taught via telephone, webcast, and other web-related formats. The specific formats are determined by each professor on a course-by-course basis. .
