Final Examination

All candidates will be required to pass final written and oral examinations, administered by the candidate’s committee.

The student’s thesis must be approved by the committee and the department chairperson before final oral and written examinations are taken. The final oral and written examinations must be taken at least two weeks before the close of the semester or term in which the student is to be certified. When the student satisfactorily passes the final oral and written examinations, the committee will file the signed approval form in the Graduate School office. This form is available in the Graduate School office.
