Schedule to take comprehensive exams at the end of the fourth semester in the program by signing up for 1 credit of comps during this fourth and final semester.
Students opting for the non-thesis plan will need to make arrangements to take the Master's comprehensive examinations two months prior to their anticipated graduation date.

Comprehensive Examination Requirements

The M.A. comprehensive examinations will consist of three parts: (1) Theory; (2) Methods; (3) Substantive Area / Special Area.

The theory exam and the exam on a substantive area within the field are to be taken in the department on two different days (4 hours each exam) within one week.
The methods exam is a take-home exam that must be completed over the course of the following week.
The exam on a substantive area in the field may be based on a course the student has taken in the department or an area the student has studied under the supervision of a faculty member through independent readings or research.

All three exams will be comprehensive and may cover a wide range of topics and issues. They will be graded on the basis of the following scale: High Pass; Pass; Fail. Students who fail to pass a particular exam may schedule to re-take that exam one more time.

All exams will be administered by the program Coordinator, graded by the faculty member(s) submitting the question(s), and reviewed by the program Coordinator and faculty member together for a final decision.
