Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations

Academic Senate regulations require all doctoral students to complete and pass university written and oral qualifying examinations prior to doctoral advancement to candidacy. Also, under Senate regulations, the University Oral Qualifying Examination is open only to the student and appointed members of the doctoral committee. In addition to university requirements, some graduate programs have other pre-candidacy examination requirements. What follows in this section is how students are required to fulfill all of these requirements for this doctoral program.

All committee nominations and reconstitutions adhere to the Minimum Standards for Doctoral Committee Constitution.

Departmental Written and Oral Qualifying Examination: This examination must be taken no later than the spring quarter of the second year. It is scheduled by the faculty adviser in consultation with the student and other members of the examining committee. The examining committee consists of the faculty adviser and at least two additional EPSS faculty members. In extraordinary circumstances, a delay or change in committee membership may be granted by petition to the graduate adviser or department chair.

The student prepares two written research proposals on two dissimilar projects approved by the faculty adviser. The proposals must be concise, with a guideline of 4 pages and a maximum of 5 pages, and must be submitted to the examining committee at least 10 days before the examination. One of the proposals should cover a possible dissertation topic. The proposals are presented briefly to the examining committee orally, and the committee examines their originality and scientific merit, as well as the student’s fundamental knowledge in the program area.

The possible outcomes of this examination are:
1) Pass — with immediate eligibility to proceed to the University Oral Qualifying Examination.
2) No-pass — with the possibility of reassessment by an agreed upon date on the basis of a specific written list of requirements supplied by the graduate evaluation committee. This option is meant for students with identifiable and presumably correctable weaknesses, but who are otherwise above the passing threshold. The no-pass option can only be used once for any particular student.
3) Terminal master’s pass — allowing the student only to finish any outstanding course requirements for the master’s degree.
4) Fail — resulting in a recommendation for termination of the student’s affiliation with the department.

University Written and Oral Qualifying Examination: After passing the departmental qualifying examination, students must consult their faculty adviser and the graduate adviser regarding nomination of the doctoral committee. In consultation with the doctoral committee, students arrange a time for the oral qualifying examination. At least 10 days before this examination, students must provide each member of the doctoral committee with a written prospectus of their proposed dissertation research, including a summary of research objectives, methodologies, and a timeline for completion. In addition to the proposed research, the committee may examine the student’s fundamental knowledge in the discipline. Repetition of a failed examination is at the option of the doctoral committee.

Advancement to Candidacy

Students are advanced to candidacy and awarded the Candidate in Philosophy (C.Phil.) degree upon completion of the written and oral qualifying examinations.

Doctoral Dissertation

Every doctoral degree program requires the completion of an approved dissertation that demonstrates the student’s ability to perform original, independent research and constitutes a distinct contribution to knowledge in the principal field of study.

Final Oral Examination (Defense of the Dissertation)

Not required for all students in the program. The decision as to whether a defense is required is made by the doctoral committee.

Time-to-Degree

A. The departmental qualifying examination is normally taken in the second year of residence.

B. The university qualifying examination is normally taken in the third year and no later than the fourth year of residence.

C. The dissertation and final oral examination is normally taken no later than the sixth year of residence.

Termination of Graduate Study and Appeal of Termination

University Policy

A student who fails to meet the above requirements may be recommended for termination of graduate study. A graduate student may be disqualified from continuing in the graduate program for a variety of reasons. The most common is failure to maintain the minimum cumulative grade point average (3.00) required by the Academic Senate to remain in good standing (some programs require a higher grade point average). Other examples include failure of examinations, lack of timely progress toward the degree and poor performance in core courses. Probationary students (those with cumulative grade point averages below 3.00) are subject to immediate dismissal upon the recommendation of their department. University guidelines governing termination of graduate students, including the appeal procedure, are outlined in Standards and Procedures for Graduate Study at UCLA.

Special Departmental or Program Policy

In addition to the standard reasons outlined above, a student may be recommended for termination who fails to meet requirements regarding course scheduling and deadlines for completion of examinations or the degree as agreed upon between the student and the Graduate Affairs Committee or the student’s advising committee. A student may appeal a recommendation for termination through a letter to the graduate adviser or the departmental chair.

Teaching Experience

Not required.

Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations

All committee nominations and reconstitutions adhere to the Minimum Standards for Doctoral Committee Constitution.

The student prepares two written research proposals on two dissimilar projects approved by the faculty adviser. The proposals must be concise, with a guideline of 4 pages and a maximum of 5 pages, and must be submitted to the examining committee at least 10 days before the examination. One of the proposals should cover a possible dissertation topic. The proposals are presented briefly to the examining committee orally, and the committee examines their originality and scientific merit, as well as the student’s fundamental knowledge in the program area.

The possible outcomes of this examination are:

Pass — with immediate eligibility to proceed to the University Oral Qualifying Examination.
No-pass — with the possibility of reassessment by an agreed upon date (in consultation with the committee and the student) on the basis of a specific written list of requirements supplied by the graduate evaluation committee. This option is meant for students with identifiable and presumably correctable weaknesses, but who are otherwise above the passing threshold. The no-pass option can only be used once for any particular student.
Terminal master’s pass — allowing the student only to finish any outstanding course requirements for the master’s degree.
Fail — resulting in a recommendation for academic disqualification.

University Written and Oral Qualifying Examination: After passing the departmental qualifying examination, students must consult their faculty adviser and the graduate adviser regarding nomination of the doctoral committee. In consultation with the doctoral committee, students arrange a time for the oral qualifying examination. This examination is normally taken in the spring quarter of the third year, and must be taken no later than the spring quarter of the fourth year. At least 10 days before this examination, students must provide each member of the doctoral committee with a written prospectus of their proposed dissertation research, including a summary of research objectives, methodologies, and a timeline for completion. During the oral qualifying examination, the committee may examine the student’s fundamental knowledge in the discipline in addition to the proposed research. Repetition of a failed examination is at the option of the doctoral committee.

Advancement to Candidacy

Students are advanced to candidacy and awarded the Candidate in Philosophy (C.Phil.) degree upon completion of the written and oral qualifying examinations.

Doctoral Dissertation

Final Oral Examination (Defense of the Dissertation)

Not required for all students in the program. The decision as to whether a defense is required is made by the doctoral committee.

Time-to-Degree

The departmental preliminary examination is normally taken in the second year of residence.
The university qualifying examination is normally taken in the third year and no later than the fourth year of residence.
The dissertation and dissertation defense are normally completed no later than the fifth year of residence.

Teaching Experience

Oral communication of complex material is an essential skill in academic and non-academic settings and graduate studies present the perfect setting for acquiring and honing it. Engagement in teaching is one of the most effective means to improve communication and pedagogical skills. Therefore, all doctoral students will be required to teach (be employed as teaching assistants for courses taught by EPSS faculty) at least two quarters during their doctoral studies, at least once before advancement to candidacy, preferably not in the last two quarters before the thesis defense. Exceptions may be granted in extraordinary circumstances, for example if teaching violates the terms of a fellowship.

Advising

Each entering student is assigned an initial faculty adviser by the department based on student input and faculty availability. The initial faculty adviser may or may not eventually become a member of the student’s thesis committee.

The initial faculty adviser is charged with the responsibility of reviewing the first-year student’s progress a minimum of three times in the academic year. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange these review meetings. A department record of review form, documenting the student’s progress, must be completed and signed by the adviser at these meetings. It is the student’s responsibility to submit the completed forms to the department student affairs office by the end of each quarter. Additional meetings do not have to be documented on the record of review form. If the initial faculty adviser notices that no meetings have been arranged, the adviser must arrange a meeting immediately with the student to discuss the student’s works and progress.

Satisfactory first-year student progress is determined by first-year course grades and the quality of the student’s work in the first-year solo exhibition.

Any concerns over the student’s lack of progress will be communicated directly to the student by the initial faculty adviser. At the meeting, the student will be given guidelines for successful completion of the program and the details of the meeting will be noted on the record of review form.

Students are encouraged to consult their adviser whenever doubts or questions arise about their proposed program or academic goals.

The M.F.A. Graduate Thesis Committee must be established no later than the end of the fourth week of the fall quarter in the second year. The thesis chair must be a member of the senate faculty. The entire committee is responsible for reviewing, at least once every quarter, the progress of the student’s project toward the completion of his or her thesis. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange these review meetings with the Committee. If the thesis chair notices no effort has been made for the Committee to meet, s/he must communicate the concern directly to the student and to all members of the Graduate Thesis Committee. Lack of progress shall be documented in writing by the thesis chair on the department record of review form. Repeated lack of progress will be considered by the Graduate Thesis Committee and all other senate faculty, and may be grounds for recommended deferment of thesis work or dismissal.
