Examinations

By the end of the first-year, students must pass a preliminary examination that consists of eight exams administered over the course of the first year. The student must maintain a B average for these exams.

At the end of the second year, each student is required to take a comprehensive oral examination administered by a committee of MCDB faculty, in which the student defends a written research proposal of her or his thesis topic, prepared in the format of a grant application.
