MINOR COMPREHENSIVE EXAM

  • The minor comprehensive exam in AIAR includes a written and/or practice-based exam as well as an oral examination. The minor comprehensive exam is intended to test the student’s comprehensive knowledge of the minor subject area of study, both in breadth and depth. Students pursuing an AIAR minor will work with their minor advisors to discuss whether a traditional written essay exam, or a practice-based exam is more appropriate for their path of study. The minor area advisor ultimately defines the breadth, shape, and content of this exam.
