Students pursuing the HRD doctoral degree program are required to complete a qualifying examination during the semesters in which the student will have completed between 24 and 36 credit hours, prior to submitting the degree plan.

A qualifying exam (Ph.D. students only) is the bridge between coursework and your dissertation. Qualifying exams are normally done in the fall semester. Typically, students will take the survival skills course in the spring semester before their fall qualifying exam. The format of the qualifying exam varies by program; however, the general layout is that of an NIH-R01 grant. The student will prepare a proposal and a presentation and will present both to their qualifying exam committee.

The qualifying examinations consist of a take home written examination followed by an oral examination and a thesis proposal. The written examination is tailored to the individual programs and interests of particular students. The examination is intended to insure that students are ready to take on their doctoral research, so they serve a diagnostic role. In some cases, students may be asked to take courses in areas which they may need and are not sufficiently prepared.

The CGFNS offers the Qualifying Exam three times per year in many locations throughout the world. In the Philippines the examinations are administered in Manila, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro. In addition, CGFNS occasionally announces Special Administration of the Qualifying Exams at some exam centers. For current information, check the CGFNS website: http://www.cgfns.org.
