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.
听
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.
听
The Core examination is administered during the first day of the Comprehensive Examination to all graduate degree candidates (Ph.D.) 听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.
听
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.
