Course Work II

Completion of Phase I course requirements, along with passing the QR exam, place a student in Phase II of the PhD program. The only course requirement beyond this is one additional substantive course (3 units) at the 600 level or above, for a total of 5 substantive courses for Phases I and II. However, it is typical and recommended that PhD students take more courses than is required in order to obtain a broader academic background and knowledge.
