Evaluation of Progress

An evaluation takes place at the end of each year of the program. The Doctoral Programs Office works with each student’s advisory committee to evaluate performance and review grades and examination results to determine if one has demonstrated sufficient potential to warrant continuance in the program. The committee will also consider other activities as reported by students in the Annual Planning report, in which students are required to provide a report of their research, presentations, and other activities.
