What you can do (which was my plan) is use the summer sessions to meet your residency requirements. They cap your distance learning to 6/10 of your degree. So, you will need no fewer than 2 summer sessions. (they say 1 but it's 2 because of the proseminar and field study). A summer session is 7 weeks and you can stay on campus in the dorms...it'll cost you...but it's an option that is much easier than a 16 week semester.
