Doctoral Qualifying Examination or Process
To be officially admitted to the PhD program, the student must pass a qualifying examination/process. Any department or area program may limit the number of times this examination/process may be attempted.
After the qualifying process is complete and the doctoral committee has been confirmed, the Qualifying Examination Results and Doctoral Approval Committee Approval (D1) form (pdf) should be submitted to the Graduate School, no later than the end of the second semester of enrollment.
