 So as I'm working through grad school, I'm trying to keep track of all these steps to shed light on the confusing processes. Please note that my experiences, and this information, may only really be applicable to other grad students in CEE Hydrology. Other sections of the CEE department may do things quite differently. This no doubt adds to the confusion that grad students are confronted with, since some of these processes are conducted seemingly on an ad-hoc basis subject to your faculty advisors' idea of how exams should be structured, and not centrally coordinated by the department.
 
+The milestones for getting a PhD from the department are listed [here](https://www.ce.washington.edu/current/phd/milestones). This guide is structured based on the major milestones required for the PhD. These being the [Qualifying exam](how-to-graduate/2-qual-exam.md), the [General Exam](how-to-graduate/3-gen-exam.md) and the [Final exam](how-to-graduate/4-final-exam.md). Optionally students may also choose to get a [master's degree](how-to-graduate/1-masters-defense.md) before starting their PhD, which is a recommended track in some labs.
