Comprehensive Exam Information

Completing Your Comprehensive Exam

Some graduate programs require a comprehensive examination rather than a thesis or project. Some programs offer comprehensive examinations as one of the options for culminating experiences.

Students who complete a comprehensive examination will work with their advisor or graduate coordinator to set up a time and location to complete the examination.
