  CIS WRITTEN PRELIMINARY EXAM I (WPE I) INFORMATION 

WPE I Regulations  

WPE I registration: Towards the end of each semester, the CIS Graduate Coordinator will send email re: registering for the WPE I exams - students who wish to take the WPE I exams will submit the online registration; the Graduate Coordinator will assign these students a number to be used on the exam(s) instead of their name - this is to ensure impartiality in the grading of the WPE I. 

Only doctoral students and master's students who are seriously considering trying to become doctoral students               (see info @ www.cis.upenn.edu/grad/mse-phd.shtml) should register for the WPE I.

 

                                                     WPE I Stats (to be updated)
