Graduation Requirements

At the time of acceptance, each student is assigned to a department advisor. The choice of courses, selection of subject for research paper or thesis, and the reading preparation for the comprehensive examination are made under the advisor's direction.

To complete the degree, the department requires both a written and oral comprehensive final examination.
