You have two (2) opportunities to pass the written Comprehensive Exam with a score of 80 percent
or greater. In the event that you are unable to pass, you may take it a third and final time after
meeting guidelines set by your advisor.

Note: Students will not be eligible to sit for the comprehensive exam if enrolled in required
core courses during the same semester the exam is to be administered.

Comp Exam “Boot Camp” (Optional)
This is an optional, but highly recommended, resource to assist students in effective study
strategies, a review session called “Boot Camp” is provided each Fall and Spring Semester to help
students plan for and to study for successful outcomes on the Comprehensive Examination. This six
(6) week non-credit course will challenge students to apply the program’s core courses in order to
synthesize learning with application through the use of scenarios and case studies to succinctly
respond to issues and problems that arise in organizations that require the assistance of an HRD
professional.
