For each of the four sections of the exam, the student and the faculty member create a list of materials to be prepared. These may include books, articles, films, etc. The list in the major literature is intended to ensure both breadth and depth of preparation in that literature. The other lists may be more specific, focusing on a genre, a theoretical issue, a period, or some other significant grouping, usually having to do with the student\u2019s dissertation project.<\/li>\n<li>Each list should be introduced by a title and a 250-500 word pr\u00e9cis highlighting the student\u2019s analytical focus, followed by an alphabetized list of texts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Two quarters before the examination date:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Student\u2019s committee chair should receive the preparation lists and point out potential problems, such as too much overlap among topics or lists.<\/li>\n<li>Student may enroll in 291 course(s) during this or any other quarter in the year preceding the qualifying examination for the purpose of preparing for the exam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>One month before the examination:<\/h4>\n<p>The Nomination for the Qualifying Exam for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy must be submitted via R&#8217;Grad.<\/p>\n<p>See the Grad Division website for <span class=\"x_ContentPasted4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.ucr.edu\/regulations-and-procedures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regulations for Oral Qualifying Examination Committee Membership<\/a>.<\/span><a id=\"LPNoLPOWALinkPreview\" href=\"https:\/\/graduate.ucr.edu\/regulations-and-procedures\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>At least two weeks prior to the date of the first written exam:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Committee members submit their questions to the committee chair.

Each exam lasts three hours and is usually taken in the departmental library.
