Other classes will be decided between the student, the major professor and the advisory
committee. The student will select a major advisor (if not admitted specifically to
a faculty member's program) and, no later than the second semester of enrollment,
select an advisory committee. For the Ph.D. student, the committee will consist of
a minimum of 4 members (including the major professor), at least 3 of which must be
from the School of Basic Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Sciences.
A comprehensive written examination will be administered after the student has completed
approximately 80% of his/her coursework. For the majority of candidates, this turns
out to be approximately two years after they have been in the Pharmacy Graduate Program.
The examination is divided into two sections: Core and Advanced.
The Core examination is administered during the first day of the Comprehensive Examination
to all graduate degree candidates (Ph.D.) In general, the Core examination is intended
to test competency in graduate educational enrichment offered through various formal
courses. Factual and conceptual areas of competency are tested in this examination.
The Advanced examination is administered to the doctoral (Ph.D.) candidates during
the second day of the two-day Comprehensive Examination. In this section, in addition
to testing the candidate's competency in the conceptual areas of learning enrichment,
the candidates are tested for their competency in synthetic, analytical, data interpretation
and critical conceptualization skills as future researchers.
