Interviews with program directors, faculty, alumni, and current students answer the many questions prospective graduates have, including: What happens during the non-residency semester? What are the brief residencies like? What community is established between faculty and fellow students?

These questions, and more, are answered in detail. The guide also clarifies the application process and offers application tips from program directors and alumni.
