Degree Requirements - Admission to Candidacy
The student should complete the Application for Admission to Candidacy prior to the oral exam. Upon receiving a pass on the oral exam, the student should deliver the Application for Admission to Candidacy form to the Graduate Coordinator to submit with the Notification of Results of Oral Preliminary Examination form. Both forms are sent to the Graduate School by the student's major department within two weeks after the date of the oral prelims. A student must be admitted to candidacy at least two semesters prior to the date of expected graduation.
This application certifies that the student has demonstrated the ability to do acceptable graduate work in the chosen field and has met the qualifications listed on the form. To be eligible for admission to candidacy and graduation, a student must maintain an average of 3.0 (B) on all graduate courses taken and on all courses listed on the Program of Study. No course below a 2.0 (C) will be accepted as part of the Program of Study for a graduate degree.
After admission to candidacy, a student must register for at least two additional semesters and a total minimum of 10 hours of dissertation (9300) credit.
