Matriculation

examination.
Students are prohibited from taking additional credits until

will have only two opportunities to pass the qualifying written
examination**.
**Beginning Fall 2003, all students admitted into the doctoral
program must meet the following criteria for passing the Qualifying
Examination:

score of 80 is not achieved, the student must re-take the
entire Qualifying Examination.
- In addition to achieving a total score of 80, students
must score a minimum of 15 in each of the five sections.
Even if a student scores the minimum score of 80, but fails
to score of a minimum of 15 on each section of the examination,
the student must re-take the section on which they scored
below 15.
