The Doctoral Candidacy Examination in the Ohio State University Physics Department is a 4-6 week period wherein a graduate student is assigned a topic to learn about with the goals of writing a report and presenting an oral exam. Passing the examination makes the student eligible for their Master of Science Degree in Physics. For more information about the Examination itself, please see the Department’s website or the Physics Graduate Student Council website.
