The student is allowed two attempts. Students must take exam at the end of their first year, and have a second opportunity in September of their second year.</p> <p>Students must take a PhD candidacy exam at the end of their second year. Additional coursework to reach the 90.0 credits required for the PhD will be agreed upon with the student's graduate advisor. Students should note that some departmental courses are foundation courses and do not contribute to the departmental requirements for the degree.
