Years 2 through 5
- All students, regardless of their background and elective track, are expected to identify a dissertation research advisor and laboratory prior to the start of the 2nd year. This is an academic requirement to be in good academic standing.
- In Year 2, students will begin preparing for their Qualifying Examination to be completed before the end of the Spring quarter of the 2nd year.
- In Year 3, students will begin preparing for their Advancement to Candidacy Examination, to be completed before the end of the Spring quarter of the 3rd year.
