PhD quals, short for PhD qualifications, are exams or assessments that students must pass in order to advance to the next stage of their PhD program.
The timing of PhD quals can vary depending on the specific program and university. Generally, they take place after completing coursework and before beginning the dissertation phase.
The purpose of PhD quals is to assess a student's knowledge and understanding of their field of study. It also serves as a way to ensure that students are prepared to conduct independent research for their dissertation.
The structure of PhD quals varies depending on the program, but it often includes both written and oral components. The written portion may consist of essay questions or research proposals, while the oral portion may involve a presentation or defense of the written work.
If a student does not pass their PhD quals, they may be given the opportunity to retake the exam or make revisions to their work. Some programs may also offer the option to switch to a non-PhD master's degree or leave the program altogether.
