First-Year Comprehensive Examination
All students must pass a Preliminary Examination in May of their first year. The Preliminary Examination is a two-day (four hours each day) examination that is based on the four Core Courses. Two graduate group members will administer and evaluate the student's performance. The exam is graded Pass/Fail. A satisfactory performance on the examination is a requirement for an A.M. degree in the program. A superior performance is a requirement for continuation in the program as a Ph.D. candidate.
