Core and Recommended Readings for the Comprehensive Exam

  

Introduction

     This is the list of Core and Recommended Readings for the comprehensive examinamtion for doctoral students in the International Graduate Program in Politics. Core readings are underlined. When students sit for the doctoral exam, they will face a total of eight questions in two categories: Core questions and Topical questions, four each. The Core questions are the same for everyone, so that all students sitting for the examination on the same day will face the same four questions drawn from the Core readings. From these, students must choose and answer two. Four more questions on specific topics, different for each student, will be asked in the Topical category. These questions are different for everyone, reflecting each given student’s research interests. Of these questions students also choose and answer only two each. As the questions in the “Topical” category are different for everyone, the reading list for this part of the test will vary accordingly by the student and must be proposed by each individual student with the approval of that student’s advisor. The Topical Readings list must then be approved by the IGPP Academic Review Committee (ARC) during the review of the student’s Course of Study application. 

     The Core Readings list is made up of 120 volumes, including multi-volume sets, essays and monographs. The student’s topical list must go at least to an additional 30 texts: 5 titles from the list below and 25 more books not listed chosen with the help of the advisor. 


Comprehensive Examination

     Doctoral students are required to pass a comprehensive examination in the third semester of their studies in this program. The exact timing of the test is determined by the program’s administrators. The examination has two parts that must be completed in a single 4-hour session. The first part is based on a core reading list taken from both sections of the Comprehensive Examination Reading List: these are the books and articles which are underlined. These core readings are required of all students. The second part of the examination is based on a specially chosen reading list according with each individual student’s research interests. The contents of this second list are determined in consultation with the student’s advisor and stand under condition of approval by the IGPP’s Academic Review Committee.

     Each part of the doctoral examination consists of four questions from which a student chooses and answers only two. The questions are asked in English and the answers must be written in English in order to be considered for review. Each question is worth 25 points for a total possible score of 100. The examination is graded by the IGPP Grading Committee made up of at least three faculty members appointed by the IGPP’s Academic Review Committee. The Grading Committee meets when necessary, on a per-need basis. At least three members of the Grading Committee must grade all four answers for any given student’s examination. The aggregate of the grades for each answer will be calculated from between the scores given by each of the Grading Committee’s members. The final score is the total of the four aggregates.

     The following grading scale is used: 73 or less = fail; 74 to 83 = low pass; 84 to 93 = pass; 94 to 100 = high pass. The Academic Review Committee will inform students of their scores. A student who has earned a failing grade has the right to take a new examination in the next six months. A second failing grade earns dismissal from from the program.
