There are written qualifying exams in four areas: (1) real analysis, (2) complex analysis, (3) algebra, (4) topology and manifolds. To stay in good standing, a student must pass all four courses, plus a written qualifying exam in either real or complex analysis, and a written qualifying exam in either algebra or topology/manifolds, by the end of two years of graduate study.
