Real analysis Complex analysis Topology Algebra Probability and statistics Applied mathematics Both exams must be taken prior to registering for dissertation hours, MATH 6950. More specifically: The exam times will be at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters in August and January. The exams are normally administered from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. Individual qualifying exam committees may deviate from this but if they do, the committee chair shall clearly communicate the available time for the exam to the Mathematics Department and to all graduate students well ahead of the exam date. Two qualifying exams must be passed by the end of the first January exam period following the seventh semester of graduate studies in mathematics (initiated at the University of North Texas). Students failing to meet this requirement will be removed from the Ph.D. program after the spring semester following their seventh semester. In addition, at least one qualifying exam must be passed by the end of the first January exam period following the fifth semester of graduate studies in mathematics (initiated at the University of North Texas). For students failing to meet this requirement, the Graduate Affairs Committee will recommend to the department chair termination of financial support after the spring semester following their fifth semester. Exceptions to the above rules can be made only under extenuating circumstances and with the approval of the Graduate Affairs Committee. Each exam subject area has a syllabus [link] that contains a detailed list of topics covered by the exam, together with suggested readings. Also old exams are available to students. Digital copies of the ungraded exams are kept by the department until the student graduates, or until five years have passed. Graded exams will not be returned to the students, but students may consult with the chair of the area committee to view a copy of their ungraded exam and receive feedback on their exam performance. 4. Ph.D. Degree Plans The Ph.D. students are required to take at least 9 credits of MATH 6950 doctoral dissertation hours. This can be done only after passing two Ph.D. qualifying exams. At most 12 credits of 6950 can count towards the degree.
