A comprehensive examination is required in an area of philosophy chosen by the student with the approval of the DGS.
The comprehensive exam would have both a written and an oral part. A student would have two faculty members on the comprehensive examination committee, each from the Philosophy Department. They would help the student draw up a reading list in the student’s desired field in philosophy. The written part would be a three-hour exam taken by the student at a time of his or her choosing on the subject agreed upon with the members of the committee. The oral examination would consist of the two Philosophy Department committee members examining the student based on the written answers, exam questions not answered by the student, or on other issues connected with the agreed-upon reading list. The oral part of the minor comprehensive exam must take place in conjunction with an oral exam in the major field if this should occur.
