Master's Comprehensive Examination

Candidates for all of the master's degrees in English must pass the master's comprehensive examination. This examination is administered by the graduate committee of the Department of English and is given each February, June, and October.

The examination is given in the Auditorium Building, and is held from 8:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

The comprehensive examination may be taken twice. If the candidate fails the examination on both occasions, then permission for any retake of the examination must be granted by the graduate committee.

Students must register for this examination at least one week in advance of the examination. If you have registered for the examination and cannot take it for any reason, you must cancel your registration at least 24 hours in advance of the examination. Failure to do so will result in a "take" (i.e., a grade of "fail") of the examination.
