Exam is given by the two minor faculty members selected for the student's graduate committee.
Both members are required to participate in the Oral Preliminary Exam. The minor committee members should review the dissertation and are expected to participate in the Final Defense. The members of the minor should be faculty members of AR L, but on a case by case basis we can substitute other tenure-track faculty with prior approval by the Chairperson in consultation with the student's major advisor. Also, continuing eligible faculty can be permitted to serve on committees with prior approval but they cannot serve as major advisers.
