When all required coursework is satisfactorily completed, the student must pass a written comprehensive qualifying examination covering the subject matter in their DrPH concentration. The exam will be administered and evaluated by the student’s DrPH Dissertation Committee. If all or part of the exam is failed, the student will have one more opportunity to retake the exam. After successful completion of the qualifying exam and appropriate paperwork is submitted to and approved by the Office of Graduate Studies, the student is admitted to candidacy and may register for dissertation hours in the semester following Office of Graduate Studies approval. |
