Comprehensive Examination

In addition to regular course examinations or the equivalent, at the conclusion of the six semesters of courses the student sits for a comprehensive oral examination to demonstrate mastery of the whole corpus of Church law. A student who twice fails the comprehensive examination is no longer eligible to receive the licentiate.
