The Chair of the Committee responsible for the specialization, in consultation with other members of the Graduate Faculty and the Department Head, evaluates the graduate training and teaching experience completed at other institutions. Waiver of any coursework can only be granted with the approval of the advisor, the instructor of the course being waived, and the Department Head. The Pro-Seminar is offered every other year. Doctoral students who are preparing for the job market are required to take the Pro-Seminar a second time.
All doctoral students must pass a Candidacy examination and a Comprehensive examination. Examinations will be written and defended in French.
Exceptions are occasionally made for dual-title Ph. If outside members know only some French, the exam will be written in French but the oral exam will be bilingual.
Every effort should be made to locate outside and special members with some knowledge of French. Chapters of the thesis should be submitted to the advisor as they are written. Committee members may prefer to read the thesis chapter by chapter or they may wish to review only the full draft version.
This should be decided in consultation between the student and the committee members, preferably at a meeting with the full committee. Both the thesis advisor and the student are responsible for ensuring the completion of a draft of the thesis and for adequate consultation with all committee members well in advance of the oral examination. Each member of the committee will make any suggestions he or she may have within two weeks of receiving the completed draft.
If, at the end of these two weeks, no committee members request major revisions to the thesis editing suggestions do not qualify , the final oral examination date may be set.
The request for examination must be submitted to the dean of the Graduate School for approval at least three weeks prior to the date of the exam. Students should consult the Graduate School Thesis Guide for the thesis format.
