At least two questions from the specialization courses (another may be added for cognate area).
 * Second portion** can be take-home or sit-down - up to the committee. If it is take-home, students have two weeks from the sit-down date to finish.


 * Oral Exam** is NOT optional. It needs to take place within 2 months of the written component. The oral component of the qualifying exam may be incorporated into the proposal defense. At this event, the successful student fills out the appropriate paperwork for Doctoral Candidacy. This starts the clock for the 6-month period within which the degree cannot be granted.
