Final Comprehensive Examination - Clinical
The final comprehensive examination committee must include two faculty members from the clinical option. This examination is intended to examine the student's comprehensive grasp of the field and is not limited to a defense of a thesis if one is submitted.
If a thesis is submitted it must be successfully defended prior to attempting the final comprehensive examination. These may or may not be concomitant. The thesis is taken for credit and the defense represents one part of the grading process and does not represent a grade for the student's comprehensive grasp of the field. (See "Final Comprehensive Examination"
in the
Graduate Catalog.)
