The requirements for an MA student taking a 7000-level course are substantially different from those for a PhD student. Therefore
a PhD student who has previously taken any of these 7000-level courses may, with the permission of the department, repeat
any of those 7000-level for credit in the Tri-University Doctoral Program.
