    I. CORE EXAM
    
    My comprehensive written examination on the core courses
    
        [ ] covered COMP 122, 151, 181, 212, 213, 214, 216, 217, 261
    
        [ ] will cover COMP 202, 203, 204, 205, 206
	    (in the context of prior preparation)
    
        [ ] should cover the following hybrid (transition student only):
    
        COMP
    
    
    II. COURSES

    For courses other than at UNC-CH, attach at least a catalog
    description, and preferably a syllabus.
    
    A. Required courses.
    
    COMP 321 [ ] semester: 
    
             [ ] waived (file Form CS-2)
    
    COMP 345 (for students meeting requirements dated before May 1994)

             [ ] semester:                  [ ] check if taken as COMP 145
    
             [ ] waived (file Form CS-2)
    
    B. Primary concentration.  "Three or four courses of which at least two
    support in depth the specific dissertation topic and at least one supports
    more generally the area of computer science in which the dissertation topic
    falls.  The courses do not need to be related to each other, except in that
    they support the dissertation.  These courses may have been taken as an
    undergraduate and may have been counted towards an undergraduate degree."

    C. Secondary concentration.  "One or two courses (two if there are only
    three courses in the primary concentration) that are clearly not in the
    area of computer science in which the dissertation topic falls.  If there
    are two courses, they must be a coherent pair.  These courses may not have
    been taken as an undergraduate."

    D. Mathematical skills.  "One course at upper undergraduate level or higher
    in each of two approved areas.  An area is approved if it (a) appears on
    the following list, or (b) is designated by the student's committee as
    specifically supporting the dissertation topic, or (c) is approved by the
    Graduate Studies Committee on the basis of a cogent argument by the
    student.  These courses do not need to be related to each other, and may
    have been taken as an undergraduate."

    E. Supporting program.  "Two courses outside computer science, each of
    which is either a foreign language course or a course that supports the
    dissertation topic.  (Two foreign language courses should normally be in
    the same foreign language.)  These courses must have been taken as a
    graduate student, but do not need to be at a graduate level.  They may
    include either or both of the courses taken (if as a graduate student) to
    satisfy the mathematical skills requirement."
