What does "low residency" mean?
The sentence: As the director of a low-residency program, Carr looks for applicants who can succeed in an independent, long-distance learning environment. In their statements of objectives, applicants should show “their initiative, self-reliance and discipline specific for the low residency model.”
Does it mean that admitted candidates have to live in a sparsely populated environment?
Thank you very much:)

Hi Lotus!
"Low residency" in this context means that you don't attend the college or university very often. The classes are mostly done through the internet, or some other long-distance method. They're looking for students who can work hard on their own, because a teacher won't be there to make sure you do the work.
I hope this helps!

That sounds like that could be it. But what kind of program are we talking about? That may change the meaning here. From the context "..can succeed in an independent, long-distance environment...", I would gather that, yes, it is referring to a job/program for somewhere with low population.
