  Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy 2006-2008 Doctoral Program Degree Program Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Planning and Public Policy Preparation for the Qualifying Examination  

Preparation for the Qualifying Examination


At least one term (preferably more) before students present themselves for the qualifying examination, they must select (in consultation with their advisers and approval of the doctoral program director) an examination committee of four members. This committee must include one faculty member specializing in research methods, another Bloustein School faculty member specializing in theory, and two Bloustein School members from the student's special examination areas. (See The Qualifying Examination.) The student, in consultation with his or her adviser, may change the composition of the committee, subject to approval by the doctoral program director. The exam committee will come to a mutual agreement with the student as to the material to be covered by the qualifying examination.
