Overview
Education
Satisfactory performance on a comprehensive examination administered by the student’s committee. The exam results are reported to the graduate committee for approval and the exam is filed in the department. The comprehensive exam is given when the student is ready to apply for admission to candidacy.
The comprehensive examination consists of both written and oral parts. The written part includes a complete review of the literature in the student’s dissertation topic and a review of the major tools to be used in the dissertation work, and proposed research. The student’s committee may require additional written sections.
The student must demonstrate a mastery of the dissertation area, ability to think analytically and creatively, skill in using academic resources, and ability to complete the dissertation satisfactorily.
The oral part of the comprehensive examination consists primarily of a professional presentation of a proposal for dissertation work and its defense. The committee may cover additional topics in the oral part. The Computer Science program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
