THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
The University of Kentucky began offering graduate work in 1870
and awarded its first graduate degrees in 1876. The Graduate
School became a distinct unit in the University organization in
1912.
The mission of the Graduate School is to promote advanced
study, graduate instruction, and research by the faculty and
students of all colleges and departments. The total graduate
resources of the University are merged under the Graduate
School for the purpose of promoting the acquisition of knowl-
edge in an atmosphere of free and lively inquiry.
Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the University. A
general description and tabulation of courses for each of the
various programs is given in the Graduate Degree Programs
section of this bulletin.
The Graduate Faculty
The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of the Graduate
School, Associate Deans of the Graduate School, and Full and
Associate Graduate Faculty Members. 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 its meeting 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 any time by the college deans
A The ' Academic Common Market

, mon Market, an interstate agreement among 16 prima—
' rily Southeastern states for sharing academic pro—
