Abstract
This article examines the effect of a 1-year-residency requirement on master of social work students' psychophysical health, general well-being, perceived workload, and grade point average. The study contributes to the existing research in two ways. First, the sample size was sufficiently large to detect important differences between part-time and full-time students. Second, the study addressed the previously neglected issue of whether students who prefer to attend school on a part-time basis are negatively affected by a 1-year-residency policy. The study found no difference in outcome between part-time and full-time students who were enrolled in first-year courses. But when part-time students were obliged to complete their second-year courses on a full-time basis, their academic performance suffered compared with that of 2-year students.
