| Near or at the end of the coursework, each doctoral student
undergoes extensive examination over the fields of study involved in the
program. This examination covers both the core (minor) and the major, though
not necessarily at the same time. |
| The CORE EXAMINATION is designed to test the student’s
general understanding of concepts and materials implicit in the program
of core courses required for the degree. The goal is to demonstrate an ability
to relate general issues and concerns common to all the arts. For policies
governing the core examination, see the doctoral program GUIDELINES, Section
III. For types of issues assigned recently at exams, see CORE EXAMINATION
QUESTIONS. |
