This examination will also provide the opportunity for students to apply the theoretical knowledge obtained to practical situations. Grading is Pass/Fail with the student needing to pass all components of the examination in order to receive a “Pass” for the entire examination. The student is allowed to take the examination twice. In order to be eligible for the comprehensive examination, the student must complete all required course work prior to the Dissertation Research Seminar with a GPA of at least 3.3 and also must secure the approval of the chair.
