mil ADMISSION

A student who is a graduate of a fully accredited institution of higher
learning may apply for admission to the Graduate School by submitting to the ‘
Registrar of the University two official transcripts of undergraduate courses and a I
Written application. Blanks for the latter may be obtained from the Registrar
or from the office of the Graduate School.

It sh0uld be clearly understood that a graduate student may not be able
to begin immediately a full graduate program leading to the degree he desires.
‘ 't Iliay be necessary for him to satisfy certain prerequisites which he omitted
i “1 hlS undergraduate curriculum. These will be determined by the department

 

  

    

  

8 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

in which the major work is to be done. In brief it may be stated that a grad.
uate student may begin a full program in the fields in which he has the
equivalent of a balanced undergraduate major; in some cases the equivalent 01
an undergraduate minor is adequate.

Admission to the Graduate School by the Registrar entitles a student to take
such courses as he or she desires, provided the necessary preparatory course
have been taken. However, admission does not automatically make a student
an applicant for a graduate degree.

Application for Full Graduate Standing ‘

Graduate students desiring to earn a graduate degree must be approved
as degree—applicants by the departments in which they intend to major and
by the Graduate School. This application should be made as soon as possible
after first registration at the University of Kentucky and in any case prior to
the beginning of the semester or term in which the degree is sought. The ap
propriate forms are available at the Graduate Office.

To be admitted as an applicant for a graduate degree a student must have
met the following requirements: (1) an average of at least 1.5 (midway be
tween B and C) on a scale of 8.0 on all previous college work; (2) a sah'v
factory grade (in the opinion of the department concerned) on two parts ol
the Graduate Record Examination (the Profile Tests and the Advanced Tat
suitable to the student’s major); and (3) a B average or better on all the
graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky. A student not having
a 1.5 average on all previous college work may be admitted as an applicant la!
a degree provided: (1) his performance on the Graduate Record Examination.
in the opinion of the major area and the Dean of the Graduate School, is sul-
ficiently high; or (2) in the judgment of the major area and the Dean of the_
Graduate School, he has demonstrated his competence in graduate work. (The
Graduate Record Examination may be taken either before admission or during
the first semester after admission. It should be applied for at any Educational
Testing Office at any university.)

Graduate work taken before students are admitted as “applicants for (it
grees” will be evaluated by the major area and the Graduate School at the time
the degree—application is considered, and the remaining requirements for the
degree will be indicated, insofar as is feasible. -

Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky having a rank high
than that of instructor may not be considered as candidates for advanced dt
grees from this institution. ‘

Attendance in the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky is notii
right. It is a privilege which the student concedes may be withdrawn by W
University or any area of graduate study if it is deemed necessary by the D6311
of the Graduate School in order to safeguard the University’s ideals of scholaf'
ship and character.

 

 

Graduating Seniors as Part-Time Graduate Students l

Seniors of the University of Kentucky lacking no more than six semeslfl‘
hours fer graduation may register in the Graduate School with the conseflt
their college deans and the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval of the alt
propriate director of graduate study is required if the students are to be 3?
plicants for degrees. The total load of such a student shall not exceed W91")
credits. The graduate residence assigned shall be one and one-half weeks it“
each semester hour of graduate work beyond the six or less credits needed ‘9

GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN 9

complete undergraduate requirements. The incidental fee shall be that of a
full-time student in the school in which more than half of the work is taken. In
cases where the load is evenly divided between the schools, the larger fee, if
any, shall be assessed. Requirements for the undergraduate degree must be
completed during the semester in which the student is allowed to register for
part-time graduate work.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL ADVANCED DEGREES

Courses and Grades

All courses listed in the regular University catalogue which have numbers
above 100 may be counted as credit toward a graduate degree; however,
courses numbered from 100 to 199 may be counted only with the approval of
the student’s official graduate adviser. A course completed with a grade of D
will not be given graduate credit. An overall average of B on graduate work
must be attained before an advanced degree may be awarded. An “incomplete”
(I) must be converted within one calendar year after the close of the term in
which the I is assigned.

Registration and Classification

Before registering each semester a graduate student should confer with the
director of graduate study in his major subject. (Directors of graduate study
are listed just ahead of the catalogue of courses in this Bulletin.) If con-
venient, this conference should come in advance of the day of registration and
classification; in any case it must come prior to the completion of classification
and the beginning of classes. For all regular graduate students the Graduate
Oflice will require for each registration the signature of the director of grad—
uate study indicating approval of the proposed program.

Student Loads

The normal load of a graduate student during any semester is twelve
Semester hours if he is working for a master’s degree under Plan A, or if he is
Working for a doctor’s degree. In no case may this load for a semester exceed
fifteen semester hours. In the summer session the normal load is six hours and
the maximum nine. Graduate students serving in the University as assistants
or part-time instructors should register for less than the normal load, as de-
terrnined by their advisers. Persons holding full-time working or professional
aSSIgnments, whether employed by the University or not, may not take for
graduate credit toward a degree in any single semester or term more than

3 or 4 credits. Two short courses of 4 weeks or less may not be taken simul-
taneously.

Residence

A load for full-time residence comprises a minimum of 9 semester hours
0f graduate course work. In the summer session the corresponding load is 6
Sefltester hours. Part-time residence during any semester is computed on the
bass of one and one—half weeks of residence for each semester hour earned.
Part-time students in the summer session receive one and one—half weeks per
Sentester hour except for short courses of less than eight weeks, in which case
reSIdenee shall not exceed the actual number of weeks involved.

       

 

  

 

    

10 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

Time Limit for Degrees

No course or residence credit is given for graduate study completed more
than eight years prior to the date of the commencement at which the student
expects to take his degree unless such credit or residence is specifically validated
by the Graduate Council on written recommendation of the director of grad»
uate study. No course or residence credit may be Validated in this mannerif
completed more than twelve years prior to the commencement date. (This
rule is applicable to new students registering after February, 1952, and to all
other students three years later.)

Proficiency in English

No student shall be approved for a graduate degree until he has demon
strated his ability to write accurate and effective English. A decision on [hit
matter shall be based on the student’s rating on the Graduate Record or
equivalent examination and such other evidence as the director of graduate

GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN

Extension

Under certain conditions, up to six of the credits and nine-weeks of the
residence required for any master’s degree in course may be satisfied by ex-
tension courses given in person by University of Kentucky instructors. (Stu-
dents who registered before Feb., 1952, may count up to one-third of the re-
quirements.) No graduate credit is given for courses taken by correspondence.

M.A. or M.S. Degree

Whether a candidate selects a Master of Arts or a Master of Science
degree is left to the option of the candidate and his major department. In gen-
eral it may be said that a candidate with major work in the natural sciences
should take the M.S. degree; others, the M.A.

Courses and Curricula

All courses listed in the Graduate School Bulletin are open to graduate
students if approved by their directors of graduate study.

Graduate students are eligible to take (1) regular courses which meet as
organized classes and (2) independent-study or research courses in which each
student carries on investigations independent of class meetings; but at least
one-half, and preferably three-fourths, of the minimum requirements for the
master’s degree shall be in regular courses.

All candidates for masters’ degrees shall earn at least nine semester hours
in courses numbered 200 or above. Exceptions to this rule may be made only
with the approval of the Graduate Council.

Sustained Residence Required

Candidates for masters’ degrees shall spend at least two full summer terms
or one semester in full—time study at the University, except in rare individual

cases where specific permission to modify this regulation is obtained from the
Graduate Council.

Examinations

A final oral examination is given all candidates for masters’ degrees in course,
not later than eight days before the close of the semester. The Dean of
the Graduate School appoints examining committees of at least three members
each for the purpose, electing the members from the major and minor profes-
sors under whom the work was done. The Dean is ex-oflicio a member of all
Such examining committees. The candidate is asked to defend his thesis, if one
has been written, and is examined on any subject matter related to his field.

Application for the Degree

’ Early in the final semester or term the student must make formal applica—
tion In the Registrar’s Office for his degree.

Fees

Before any master’s degree is conferred, a commencement fee of $20.00

   
 
 
    

 

  

 

  

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF ARTS
AND MASTER OF SCIENCE

The Two Plans

The Graduate School authorizes all departments which are approved for
graduate work and which wish to do so to permit students to satisfy the re
quirements for the MA. and the MS. degrees by either of two plans.

PLAN A
(See also pages 10-11.)

Credits and Courses

The candidate must complete at least 24 semester hours of graduate course
work with a standing of 2.0 (“B") or better. At least 9 of these hours (except
when excused in rare individual cases by special permission of the Graduate
Council) must be in courses limited to graduate students (in courses numbered
“200” or above).

The candidate shall have a major field which shall comprise at least twe‘
thirds of the course work; the other one-third may be taken in that field orin
fields which have graduate relationship with it. In education and agriculture
only one—half of the Work must be in the major field.

Residence

The minimum residence required is one academic year of 86 weeks. This
residence may be fulfilled by any combination of semesters or summer sessiom
which totals the required number of weeks, provided at least one full semester
or two complete summer terms are spent in residence.

This does not mean that the work prescribed for each individual can always
be completed in the minimum length of time. Inadequate preparation or £15-
sistance in departments very frequently makes a longer period necessary.

Thesis

Two typewritten, unbound copies of the thesis, approved by the theSiS
director and the appropriate director of graduate study, and in a form ac“;
ceptable to the Graduate School, must be presented to the Graduate School}
Oflice not later than two weeks before the last day on which grades may be re-i
ported to the Registrar’s Oflice. The candidate must also submit an abstrad
of his thesis not exceeding two hundred words and suitable for publication
The final oral examination may not be taken before the thesis has been 110
cepted by the Graduate School Office. Information about this thesis deadlifle;
may be obtained from the Graduate School Office. '

The University protects the rights of thesis and dissertation authors 11":
placing certain restrictions upon borrowers’ use of them as long as they are 1111"!
published. Before the title—page of every thesis and dissertation a copy of the}
following Rules for the Use of Theses is placed. The student prepares this pail?
for each copy of his thesis and submits it as part of the thesis.

 

RULES FOR THE USE OF THESES

Unpublished theses submitted for the masters’ and doctors’ degrees midi
deposited in the University of Kentucky Library are as a rule open for inspect
