Within the College of Public Health, each concentration has a specific format for the comprehensive qualifying exam. It is the student’s responsibility to discuss with his/her doctoral committee the style and format required within the student’s concentration. The commonly used formats include, but are not limited to: a) Concept Paper and Written Take-Home Format, b) Written Take-Home Open Book Format, and c) Written In-College Closed Book Format. A concentration may also require an oral examination component. 

Regardless of the format used, once the qualifying examination is complete, the Doctoral Committee members are given at least two weeks to review the examination. Within three weeks of exam completion, the student will receive written feedback from the Doctoral Committee Chair, denoting strengths and weaknesses of the exam, and providing an evaluative assessment for each question.
