Students are expected to complete the program in four years. After completing the course requirements in the first two years of the program, students have to take their comprehensive exams. Upon successful completion of their exams, students will be assigned to advisors that will direct them to proceed with their research. The courses are offered throughout the day and the program is open to candidates with at least a B.A. or a graduate degree.
