The University of Kentucky began offering grad-
uate work in l870 and awarded its first graduate
degrees in 1876. The Graduate School became a
distinct unit in the University organization in l9l2.

The Graduate School is concerned with advanced
study, graduate instruction and research conducted
by the faculty and students of all colleges and de-
partments. The total graduate resources of the
University are merged under it for the purpose of
promoting the acquisition of knowledge in an
atmosphere of free and lively inquiry.

Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the
University. A general description, tabulation of
courses, and name of the Director of Graduate
Studies for each of the various programs is given in
the Programs and Directors of Graduate Studies sec-
tion of this bulletin.

Organization of The Graduate School

The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of The
Graduate School and all persons appointed thereto
by the President of the University. As the chief
University agency for the promotion of the ideals
of graduate study, it determines the policies of The
Graduate School and makes recommendations to
the University Senate and to the President, or to
other administrative officials as appropriate. All
rules affecting graduate work and the inauguration
of new graduate programs must be approved by the
Graduate Faculty.

Any proposed change in the rules of The Graduate
Faculty must be included in the agenda of the meet-
ing and circulated to the Graduate Faculty at least
10 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be
considered.

New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed
to the Dean of The Graduate School at anytime by
the college deans and department chairmen con-
cerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a
college faculty, by the Vice President for Academic
Affairs of the University. Eligibility qualifications
are as follows:

1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in schol-
arly reputation.

2. The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent),
or higher.

3. Scholarly maturity and professional productiv—
ity as demonstrated by publications, editorial
services, research surveys, creative work, or
patents; and research in progress at the time of
appointment.

4. Definite interest in graduate work and the will-
ingness to participate in the graduate program.

Appointment to the Graduate Faculty is made by
the President of the University on nomination by the
Dean of The Graduate School after he/she and the
Graduate Council have studied the credentials sub--
mitted in support of the proposed members. .

Associate members of the Graduate Faculty are
appointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.

Administrative officers assigning teaching and
other duties to members of the Graduate Faculty
_ who are taking an active part in the graduate pro-
gram (i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses,
carrying on productive research, etc.) should make
appropriate reduction in the duties required of such
teachers.

The Role of the Dean

The Dean of The Graduate School is charged with
the administration of the policies adopted by the

8

Graduate Faculty and the University Senate relating
to graduate studies. The Dean presides over all meet-
ings of the Graduate Faculty and calls meetings of
this faculty whenever he/she thinks it advisable or
whenever requested to do so by one-fourth of the
membership. He/she makes recommendations to
the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements
for advanced degrees, the regulations necessary to
insure a high standard of graduate work, and all
other aspects of the graduate program. He/she
appoints a committee for each graduate student,
arranges for final examinations, advises students
with regard to their studies and the requirements of
The Graduate School, and in all other ways ad-
ministers the graduate program in the interests of
efficient instruction and the highest attainment
possible on the part of each graduate student. He/
she is responsible for determining and certifying to
the Registrar candidates who have fulfilled require-
ments for advanced degrees.

The President, Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs, and the Dean of the Graduate School are
members ex officio of all committees of the‘Grad-
uate Faculty.

The Graduate Council

The Graduate Council is composed of 13 mem-
bers and the Dean of The Graduate School, who is
chairman. There are eight elected faculty repre-
sentatives and three faculty members appointed by
the Dean of The Graduate School. One of the
elected members is from the College of Agriculture,
two from the College of Arts and Sciences, one from
the College of Business and Economics, two from
the College of Education, one from the College of
Engineering, and one from the College of Medicine.
The member or members from each of these col-
leges are elected by the Graduate Faculty members
in that college. Two graduate student members are
selected by the Council from a panel of four sub-
mitted by the Graduate and Professional Student
Association. The term of office of the elected and
appointed members is three years, and that of the
graduate students is one year. No member may
succeed himself/herself until three years have
elapsed since the completion of his/her last term.

The Graduate Council approves or disapproves
proposals concerning courses offered for graduate
credit, and advises and lends assistance to the Dean
in his/her execution of policies and regulations de-
termined by the Graduate Faculty. Specifically, the
Council:

1. Studies requests of departments relating to pro-
posed graduate programs.

 2. Reviews existing programs and courses.

3. In cooperation with the Dean, initiates recom-
mendations to the Graduate Faculty. (This pro-
cedure is not intended to prevent a faculty mem-
ber from bringing any recommendation or re-
quest directly before the Graduate Faculty.)

The Graduate Council has such authority as is
herein granted, or such as the Dean or the Graduate
Faculty may delegate to it. A majority of the
Graduate Council constitutes a quorum for the
transaction of business.

Directors of Graduate Studies

A Director of Graduate Studies serves as adviser
to each student majoring in his/her area until the
student has a thesis director. The Director of Grad-
uate Studies then recommends that the thesis direc-
tor be appointed the student’s adviser or committee
chairman. In areas where theses are not required,
the Director of Graduate Studies is the adviser for all
students not writing theses. All student schedules
must be endorsed by the student’s adviser.

If it is desirable, a Director of Graduate Studies
may recommend that additional advisers in the area
be appointed. A Director of Graduate Studies who
is to be absent from the University for as long as
a semester must call this fact to the attention of
the Dean so that a substitute may be appointed.

The Dean of The Graduate School, with the ad-
vice of the college dean(s) and the approval of the
President, may recommend to the Graduate Faculty
the areas of graduate study and research into which
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for
an area is a department. By common consent, how—
ever, certain departments may be grouped into an
area; and in exceptional cases a department may
be divided into two or more areas.) The Directors
of Graduate Studies for the various areas are ap-
pointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.

Establishment and Modification of Graduate Programs

An area which wishes to establish a new graduate
program or modify an existing one must submit its
program to the Graduate Council, which will make
recommendation concerning it to the Graduate Fac-
ulty.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of the student to inform
himself/herself concerning all regulations and pro-
cedures required by the course of study he/she is
pursuing. In no case will a regulation be waived or

an exception granted because a student pleads
ignorance of the regulation or asserts that he/she was
not informed of it by his/her adviser or other author-
ity. Therefore, the student should become familiar
with The Graduate School Bulletin, including (I) the
section presenting the requirements for the degree
which he/she plans to take, and (2) the offerings
and requirements of his/her major department.

The student should consult the Director of Grad-
uate Studies of the department in which he/she will
do his/her work concerning course requirements,
any deficiencies, the planning of a program, and
special regulations. Departments may have degree
requirements that are not listed in the Bulletin.

It is to be noted that the Graduate Dean inter-
prets the Graduate Bulletin. Only the Graduate
Council may waive requirements stated in this
Bulletin.

Admission

An applicant for admission to the University
shall not be discriminated against because of race,
color, religion, sex, marital status, or national origin.

Students seeking admission to the University of
Kentucky Graduate School must hold a baccalau—
reate degree from a fully accredited institution of
higher learning. A minimum undergraduate grade-
point average of 2.5 on the basis of 4.0 is required
by The Graduate School. Individual departments
may require a higher grade-point average.

All applicants for admission to degree programs
in The Graduate School must submit scores on the
verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate
Record Examination. Requests for waiver of the
GRE requirement must be initiated through, and
submitted in writing by, the Director of Graduate
Studies in the program concerned. If the GRE is
waived for'admission, it must be taken during the
first semester of enrollment. The College of Business
and Economics may substitute the Graduate Man—
agement Admission Test for MBA, DBA and Ac-
counting students. The Medical College Admission
Test or the Dental College Admission Test may be
substituted with the approval of the program con—
cerned.

Application forms can be obtained by writing:

Graduate School Admissions

Room 304, Patterson Office Tower
University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
40506

Applications and all supporting documents must
be submitted by the stated deadline (See Calendar).

It should be clearly understood that a graduate
student may not be able to begin immediately a full
graduate program leading to the degree he/she de-
sires; it may be necessary for him/her to satisfy pre-
requisites which he/she omitted in his/her under-
graduate curriculum. Deficiences are determined
by the program in which the major work is to be
done. Ordinarily, a graduate student may begin a
full program in any field in which he/she has a bal-
anced undergraduate major or its equivalent.

Admission to The Graduate School entitles a stus
dent to take such courses as he/she desires, provided

he/she has the necessary prerequisites. However, ‘

a student is not a candidate for a graduate degree
until he/she has been Admitted to Candidacy.

Attendance in The Graduate School at the Uni—
versity of Kentucky is not a right. It is a privilege
which may be withdrawn by the University or any
area of graduate study if it is deemed necessary by
the Dean of The Graduate School in order to safe-
guard the University’s standards.

FOREIGN APPLICANTS

All non-US. citizens except permanent residents
of the US, should request the Application Form
for Foreign Students. Applicants must have excel-
lent grades and rank in the top quarter of their
classes. To be considered for entry as a graduate
student an applicant must have had four years of
university level work. Indian students: (a first class
record is normally expected although high second
class holders in non-science areas may be consid-
ered if they can offer further evidence of having
been in at least the top IO percent of their graduat—
ing class).

When credentials are submitted in support of any
application, they should be either the original docu-
ments or certified copies (i.e., copies certified as
”true copies” by a notary public or a United States
Embassy official). An official translation must be
attached to these records if they are in a language
other than English. Credentials should include a
record of all degrees earned, detailing all subjects
taken and grades obtained. Grades must be listed
in the indigenous system. Remember that uncer-
. tified photostat copies are not adequate. Applica—
tions for admission are not considered complete
without official scores for the verbal and quantita-
tive portions of the Graduate Record Examination
or the Graduate Management Admissions Test in
Business. For information concerning either of the
tests write to: Educational Testing Service, Box 955,
Princeton, NJ. 08540, or Educational Testing Serv-
ice, Box I502, Los Angeles, Cal. 947OI.

English Proficiency Requirement: The University
of Kentucky requires a score of 550 on the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) of all ap-
plicants whose native tongue is not English. The
test is given four times each year. To register you
must obtain the TOEFL Bulletin, which includes a
registration form. Bulletins are available in many
locations outside the US, usually at American
embassies and consulates, offices of the United
States Information Service (USIS), United States
educational commissions and foundations, bi-
national centers, and many private organizations
such as the Institute of International Education (IIE),
African American lnsitute (AAI), American Friends
of the Middle East (AFME), and American Kor—
Asian Foundation.

Candidates who plan to take TOEFL in any coun-
tries identified below must obtain a copy of the
Bulletin from, and must register through, the agency
that is responsible for that country or region.

Financial Resources Requirement; Graduate ape
plicants must certify that they have at least $4500
available per year. We estimate that this amount
will cover the cost of tuition fees ($1600), books and
supplies ($200), room and meals ($2000), health
insurance (explained below) and incidentals, for a
single person, from the end of August to early May.
Living and incidental expenses for the summer
months will total approximately $700.

At the beginning of each registration period, the
student must have $1500 on hand to pay for tuition
fees, room and board and health insurance. These
items are payable in September and January and
cannot be paid in monthly installments.

University Housing. For information on Univer-
sity of Kentucky housing, write well in advance to:

Cooperstown Office
University of Kentucky

Health Services. The University of Kentucky has
an excellent health care program for its students.
The Student Health Service clinic on campus is
staffed with physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists and
other health professionals who are specialists in the
problems of young adults. Students who must be
hospitalized are admitted to University Hospital.

Health Fee. There are no"’free” services but
students pay only a nominal fee each semester (it
was $15 in 1976-77) which covers most of the ser-
vices provided by the student clinic: doctor visits,
laboratory services, some drugs, allergy shots, im-
munizations, etc. '

Health Insurance. In addition to paying the
health fee, students must have health insurance to
cover the cost of hospitalization, accident care and
surgery. These services are not covered by the health
fee and since they are very costly in the United
States students must protect themselves (and their
families if they are married). Foreign students must
have insurance that is payable in the United States.

As a service to students who need insurance, the
University makes available a Student Group Insur-
ance Plan. The cost is about $70 per year for a
single student and about $120 per year for a stu-

dent and spouse (without maternity benefits). If
there are children in the family, or if maternity
benefits are desired, the cost is about $220 per year
to cover the entire family.

The premium for this insurance is paid in two
installments at the beginning of each semester. The
coverage of the policy begins on August 26 for
those enrolling in the fall and its provides benefits
anywhere in the world during the period for which
premium is paid. Two premium payments provide
protection for 12 months.

Additional information about the health fee and .
health insurance are available at the University’s
Foreign Student Office and at the Health Service.
It should be noted that dental care, examinations
for eye glasses and some drugs are not provided by'
either plan and students must pay for these services
themselves.

Health Report Form. The Certificate of Eligibility
(Form I-20) cannot be accepted for admission until
the Graduate Admissions Office has received a
completed health form indicating that the student
has had a recent physical examination. Health
Forms are mailed from the Graduate Admissions
Office prior to final admission.

Application Deadline For Foreign Students. Ap-
plications for admission and complete credentials
should reach the Admissions Office at least six
months before the opening of the term the student
wishes to enter, that is, February I for the fall se-
mester which begins in late August, June 15 for the
spring semester which begins in mid-January, and
November 1 for all summer sessions.

Summer Program in English for Foreign Students.
The Program in English for Foreign Students is
available only to foreign students who have been
admitted to the Graduate School contingent upon
successful completion of the program. It is offered

cost of instruction and certain cultural activities
connected with the course; it will not cover room and
board (estimated at $400-500 for the eight-week

READMISSION

Former University of Kentucky students in good
standing are eligible for readmission. They must
file an application for readmission by the stated
deadlines (See Calendar). An exception to this rule

is made on behalf of students who attend only Uni—
versity Summer Sessions. These students do not
have to apply for readmission to a Summer Session
if they were enrolled for the preceding Summer
Session.

Registration forms, which must be prepared in
advance for any registration period, are not made
for a student after one semester’s absence from
the University. It is only by the filing of an
application for readmission in advance that the
Registrar’s Office can be alerted to the fact that
a student intends to re-enter the University and
prepare for him/her the necessary registration
forms in time for registration.
