The specific requirements of the various areas are as<br />

. The second half-time, as well as the full-time<br />

internship assignment, should normally be taken<br />

265, 268ABCD, 269. If a student completes two<br />

minors within the Cognitive area , the minors are<br />

subject to the same categorization and rules outlined<br />

above for Cognitive area students . Developmental:<br />

240, plus two of the following: 241, 242A-F,<br />

243AB, 244, or 246. Industrial: 218AB or 218A and<br />

area must be approved by the Clinical Area Committee<br />

. (B) Experimental Psychopathology: Four<br />

courses in psychopathology and clinical areas as<br />

recommended by the student 's adviser and with the<br />

concurrence of the Clinical Area Committee . Social:<br />

220AB plus one of the following : 221, 222, 223, 224,<br />

Cognitive and Learning and Behavior: The standardized<br />

and individualized sections are combined<br />

into one examination , based on a program of study.<br />

The student selects a two-member committee and,<br />

working with that committee , formulates in outline<br />

form a major area, with detailed references that<br />

define the body of knowledge in that area. When<br />

the program is approved , the area adds a third<br />

member to the committee on the basis of breadth<br />

considerations . The student either takes an eighthour<br />

written examination or writes a paper. The<br />

paper must be a theoretical position paper or unique<br />

integration of the content of the area, as<br />

opposed to a routine literature review . In either<br />

case, an oral examination may be required in which<br />

the student can clarify points made in the paper or<br />

examination and the committee members can quiz<br />

the student on topics in the program of study.<br />

Developmental: The standardized section is based on<br />

a program of study developed by the student in<br />

consultation with a three -member committee<br />

selected by the student . The student has the option<br />

of taking a three-hour written examination or writing<br />

three essays. The committee evaluates the<br />

examination or essays . The individualized requirement<br />

may be satisfied either by written examination<br />

or by essay.<br />

approved.<br />

Social: The standardized requirement may be met<br />

either by a three-hour written examination, based<br />

on reading and question lists provided by the area,<br />

or by three essays. The questions addressed by the<br />

essays must either be taken from the question list<br />

provided by the area or be approved by the student<br />

's adviser . The individualized requirement<br />

may be met either by written examination or by<br />

essay.<br />

Doctoral Committees . In addition to the requirements<br />

imposed by the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council , the three<br />

members of the doctoral committee who are from<br />

the Psychology Department must represent at least<br />

two different areas.<br />

Time to the Degree . Full-time students in Clinical<br />

Psychology are expected to complete the Ph.D. program<br />

in eighteen quarters. All other students are<br />

expected to complete the degree within fifteen quarters.<br />

Students who have not completed all Ph.D.<br />

requirements by the end of seven calendar years<br />

after admission to the program are subject to termination<br />

from the program . The dissertation must J<br />

be filed within three years following the completion<br />

of the Oral Qualifying Examination . Students who<br />

do not meet this requirement must take the Qualifying<br />

Examination over again.<br />

225, or 227.<br />

b) Standardized departmental courseworklexami nation<br />

minors:<br />

As an alternative to the three course minors listed<br />

above, students may choose to complete a minor by<br />

taking two courses and an examination. The<br />

courses which apply are those listed under coursework<br />

minors, though the choices are slightly more<br />

restrictive . The examination procedures are as follows:<br />

In the Industrial , Personality, Physiological,<br />

Social and Measurement areas, examinations are<br />

based on reading lists (sometimes supplemented<br />

with question lists) made available to students at<br />

least one quarter prior to the examination. In the<br />

Cognitive , Developmental , Learning and Behavior,<br />

and Physiological areas, students can develop their<br />

own bibliographies and programs of study, on<br />

which they are examined . In the Cognitive area, the<br />

courses are recommended by the student 's examining<br />

committee.<br />

Qualifying Examinations . The Qualifying<br />

Examination consists of two parts which are taken<br />

separately . The first is a standardized examination<br />

which is administered by the major area and which<br />

examines in breadth the student 's knowledge of the<br />

major field . Depending upon the area , the examination<br />

is based upon a standardized reading and/or<br />

question list or upon a program of study developed<br />

by the individual student in consultation with a<br />

Measurement and Psychometrics: The standardized<br />

examination is a three-hour written examination<br />

which is based on a reading list provided by the<br />

area or, alternatively, on a reading list proposed by<br />

the student and approved by the area. The individualized<br />

requirement may be satisfied either by<br />

written examination or essay.<br />

Personality: For the standardized section, the student<br />

may either write three essays or take a three-hour<br />

examination based on reading and question lists<br />

provided by the area. The individualized requirement<br />

may be satisfied either by written examination<br />

or essay.<br />

Physiolgical: The standardized requirement may be<br />

met in any one of three ways: (1) by written<br />

examination based on a question list and/or reading<br />

list provided by the area (a higher level of proficiency<br />

is expected if a question list is provided than<br />

if only the reading list is provided); (2) by essays on<br />

three well-separated topics in the area; or (3) by a<br />

program of study prepared in consultation with a<br />

three -member committee ; evaluation is either by a<br />

three -hour written examination or by essays<br />

(usually three ). The individualized requirement<br />

may be met either by written examination or by<br />

essay.<br />

coursework or on qualifying examinations. In the<br />

case of Clinical students, termination may be<br />

recommended because of unsatisfactory professional<br />

skills or aptitudes.<br />
