Students must obtain permission from the Graduate Program Coordinator to take the examination. Students normally take this exam just before the start of their second year and are expected to have completed the exam by the end of their second year. To be eligible to take the Ph.D. qualifying examination, the student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (out of 4.0) in all the coursework for the Ph.D. The exam may be taken twice. If a student does not pass the qualifying exam after the second try, he/she will be dismissed from the program. It is strongly recommended that the student select a dissertation adviser by the completion of 18 credit hours of course work, and it is strongly recommended that the student works with the dissertation adviser to form a dissertation committee within two semesters of passing the Qualifying Examination. To pass the exam, students need to pass all 4 parts. Students must take all 4 parts of the qualifying exam in their first attempt and must have completed all courses covered by the exam.</li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> The candidacy exam is administered by the student's dissertation advisory committee and will be tailored to the student's individual program to propose either a research‐ or project‐based dissertation. The candidacy exam involves a dissertation proposal presented in an open forum, followed by an oral defense conducted by the student's advisory committee. This committee will give a Pass/No Pass grade. In addition to the dissertation proposal, the advisory committee may incorporate other requirements for the exam. The student can attempt candidacy any time after passing the qualifying examination, after the student has begun dissertation research (STA7919, if necessary), but prior to the end of the second year following the qualifying examination. The candidacy examination can be taken no more than two times. If a student does not pass the candidacy exam after the second try, he/she will be removed from the program After passing the candidacy examination and meeting other requirements, the student can register for Doctoral Dissertation (STA7980).

"description": "<p>The <strong>General Biology Track</strong> is the most general of the Biology Tracks and only has the core Biology courses as required courses. The remaining 22 hours are chosen from any of the upper division restricted electives, with a requirement that students take at least two lab courses and one class that focuses on plants and a second class that focuses on animals. This track is appropriate for all professions that require a major in biology and will prepare students for post-graduate education in professional or graduate school. Moreover, the classroom and laboratory courses will prepare students directly for the workforce in jobs associated with government field offices or industry as a laboratory technician. If you are unsure what you want to do with your major and/or want to choose from the variety of upper division electives that are part of the Biology curriculum, then staying in the General Biology Track may be appropriate for you.</p> <p><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>Degree Requirements</strong></p> <ul> <li>Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.</li> <li>Co-op credit cannot be used in this major.</li> <li>Major Requires 13 credits of the Biology Core and 22 credits of the Biology Track for a total of 35 upper-level credits.</li> <li>All tracks within the Biology Major must complete two (2) upper-level labs from those listed below (A Lab and B Lab).</li> <li>All tracks within the Biology Major must complete at least one (1) Plant Class and one (1) Animal Class.</li> <li><span>To fulfill the department Residency requirement, students must complete a total of 23 hours of upper-level courses taught by the Biology department.</span></li> <li>Students seeking a double major must satisfy the requirements for both majors and must take no fewer than 40 semester hours of upper division restricted elective course work appropriate to the combined areas of specialization in the two majors.</li> <li>Courses designated in Common Program Prerequisites are usually completed in the first 60 hours.</li> <li>A "C" (2.0) or better is required in all BSC or PCB prefix courses meeting Biology Core Requirements.</li> <li>All prerequisites of courses taught within the College of Sciences will be enforced.</li> <li>No more than 4 semester hours of Independent Study, Directed Research, Thesis, and Internship credit, may be applied toward major requirements.</li> <li>Upon reaching junior standing (60 hours), Biology majors are expected to have completed the following courses and associated laboratories.

Therefore, the COM/BSBS Progress Policy mandates that undergraduate students meet the requirements of the policy. Below are the specific requirements of the Progress Policy: <ul> <li>Students who earned 5 low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be placed on a probationary status. Students who earn 8 or more low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> <li>Students with 2 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be placed on a probationary status.

College of Medicine students may declare a major and a minor within the college or pursue a second major or minor in another academic college at UCF. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic success coach to discuss these opportunities.</p>",
