Qualifying exams
PhD students must pass qualifying exams in any two out of the four subjects Algebra, Analysis, Applied Math, Topology. Exams are typically offered twice per year in August and in January (right before the beginning of the term). Exams are taken and graded anonymously. Students may take exams multiple times without penalty but are expected to pass them within their first 3 years to be on track in the program.
