There is a four-day summer residency that takes place each year on Seattle University's campus.

  • The purpose of the summer residency is to develop clinical skills, connect with cohort members and meet the staff and faculty.
  • Attendance and participation in summer residency are required for graduation.

We anticipate students spending $250 for tuition per residency for a total of $500. The summer residency fee does not include costs for hotel and travel, so students are responsible for those fees.
