CAS Examinations Overview CAS students must take and pass a qualifying examination in order to be eligible for the 60-hr Certificate. This can be done in one of two ways: submitting and passing a CAS Research Project on a topic of the candidate's choosing, or passing the Department's Comprehensive Examination. In most cases, CAS students will submit the Research Project. However, some CAS students may decide that they wish to keep open their options to pursue doctoral studies either immediately or at a later point. In these cases, it makes sense to consider the Comprehensive Examination as the qualifying exam for the CAS program. A CAS candidate who passes this examination may apply to the PhD program, and continue directly toward the Specialization Examination and the Dissertation. There would be no requirement to take the Comprehensive examination again. The CAS research project counts as the final examination for the CAS program, and cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of the Comprehensive Examination.
