Whether you choose the Comprehensive Track or the Applied Research Track, you should see your graduate work on a continuum and select your available electives within the program that represents your unique academic and professional goals. Your comprehensive exam or applied research project will go much more smoothly if the courses you take after the required core represent a focused set of building blocks toward these goals.
