Exam Rooms

One of the requirements for the graduate program is the successful completion of the comprehensive exams. We offer these exams on a quarterly basis to approximately 35 to 45 students in one of the conference rooms.

Space and Computing Facilities for students without Research Group Affiliation

Masters students can pursue either a thesis track (affiliated with a research group) or a comprehensive exam track. Additionally, we have a number of first/second year PhD students without lab affiliation right away. Currently, the department addresses their space and computing needs through the following: a common computer lab (Grad APE Lab) for general use, designate one of the unutilized labs to be a common lab for the PhD students, and assign a number of lockers in one of the TA offices for Masters students.

Graduate Lounge

It is important to enhance the academic as well as the social culture of the graduate students. A place where they can "get away" from the academic pressures would contribute to the enrichment of graduate student life. We normally hold social hour (eg. Graduate teas) for students in the lounge.
