Reading Lists
Please note: these specialty
exam reading lists are primarily for your general edification
and should not be presumed to be the official reading
list for your particular comprehensive exam in your
particular semester. All students who are candidates
for taking the comprehensive exams should meet with
their exam committees several months prior to the scheduled
exam date.
That having been said,
these reading lists do contain the fundamental literature
for each specialty, organized in such a manner as will
facilitate the creation of a conceptual map of your
specialty area. You will also obtain a general sense
of the literature you will be responsible for during
the comprehensive exams. Speak with your advisor for
specialty-specific exam details and updated reading
lists.
