The Universal Program Calendar is a generic seminar schedule. All dates are approximate and will vary slightly by calendar year. The order of the courses is also subject to change. Specific meetings dates will be announced well in advance of the first seminar.
Defense hearings for prospectus and dissertation are held one week each term in the fall, spring, and summer. Dates for defense hearings will be announced several months in advance. Timing of defense hearings in the program will depend on the individual student’s progress through the program.
