Comprehensive Exam
During the semester before completion of course work for the degree, students should obtain
a reading list to guide them in preparing for the comprehensive exam. A committee approved
by the program director in cooperation with the student and approved by the dean of graduate
studies will evaluate the student's performance. Students selecting a thesis option should expect
to take the examination after acceptance of the thesis.
Thesis
Students selecting the thesis program prepare their theses in accordance with the guidelines of
the department of English (MLA) and the Office of Graduate Studies. The thesis is supervised
by a committee of three faculty members approved by the program director and approved by
the dean of graduate studies. Once the student begins work on the thesis, continuous enroll-
ment in either Thesis or Thesis Renewal is required for all fall and spring semesters until com-
pletion. Summer enrollment is required if the student anticipates working on the thesis or
completing his/her degree during either summer term. Note: A thesis processing fee is assessed
Time Limit
All requirements for the master's degree in English must be completed within five years from
semester of initial admission.36
