1) Course Work: Candidates must complete successfully at least four courses chosen from the available graduate offerings in the student's field or from related and cognate courses, with the approval of the Program Committee. Credit for up to a maximum of two courses may be given for equivalent courses provided a grade of at least A- was achieved in the course.
