Qualifying Oral Interview
During the first semester of studies at the University of Arizona all incoming external Ph.D. students participate in the diagnostic oral qualifying interview. Each student, working in collaboration with the Director of Graduate Studies, propose two topics that represent knowledge in the relevant major and that reflect the student’s academic preparation from the M.A. In addition, the student will submit a writing sample (that is, a Masters-level term paper written in Spanish) to the Director of Graduate Studies no later than three weeks prior to the date of the Qualifying Oral Interview. The writing sample will be read by the members of the Qualifying Oral Interview and will be discussed with the student during the interview. The interview lasts a minimum of one hour and a maximum of two hours. The interview starts with a brief fifteen-minute presentation by the student on the two chosen topics. During the interview, the committee, established by the Graduate Studies Committee, will question the student on these topics. The purpose of this interview is to assess a student’s strengths and weaknesses so that s/he can be effectively mentored.
Comprehensive Examination
Pass a comprehensive examination, partly written and partly oral, which will include primary and secondary areas within the declared major field of study.
Foreign Language Requirement
It is a necessary academic requirement that all Ph.D. candidates in Spanish demonstrate "reading knowledge" of a natural language other than Spanish and English, preferably a Romance language (otherwise, a language that has a direct bearing on the candidate's research and/or studies). See the program's Graduate Admissions Guide for recommended undergraduate prerequisites for admission into the program.
The candidate must meet this language requirement BEFORE--and as a condition towards--taking the written Comprehensive Exams.
A minimum of 9 units required for the minor. Students in this program may not select a minor in Spanish. The selection of a minor must be approved by the student’s major graduate advisor and must be included in the student’s Plan of Study.
