Graduate Programs: Qualifying Exam
The PhD Qualifying Exam requirement has been changed. Previously, students wrote a `sit-down' exam in May of their first year. Effective for students entering the PhD program in 2005 or later, the new requirement is the successful completion of a "reading and research" course in the first year of the program. This course involves reading and reporting on a number of research articles in the statistics literature. Further details will be posted soon. In 2007-2008 this course will be offered as STAT 548 (directed studies).
