‘ to the Graduate School on the basis of doing additional work be: we
being admitted to full graduate status.
It should be clearly understood that admission to the Gradr to
School does not necessarily admit a student to full graduate stat
A student only attains l'ull graduate status when he has fulfilled
the preliminary requirements of the degree which he seeks ant
the department under whose direction he is pursuing graduate \\‘
Department prerequisites are determined jointly by the Dea-
the Graduate School and the respective departments. In brief, it .
be stated that such prerequisites usually consist of the equivalen
and undergraduate major. In some fields, the equivalent of an un‘
graduate minor is sufficient.
Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky havi:
rank higher than that of instructor may not be considered as c;.
dates for advanced degrees at this institution.
REGISTRATION
Graduate students should register in the Graduate SChOU
special cards prepared for this purpose.
Applicants from institutions other than this University are
required to file an ofiicial transcript showing (a) all undergrm
work covered, (b) graduate work takeny if any, and (C) de
received.
If the record submitted to the Registrar entitled him to {M
sion he should confer with the Dean of the Graduate School an-
major professor concerning preliminary requirements that he
have to satisfy and as to the graduate courses that he should takt
Preliminary requirements may be added from time to th
found necessary and all such requirements, together with gra
Courses, must be recorded in the Registrar’s Office and mu
satisfied by the student before he is eligible for the degree for
he is registered.
All courses listed in this bulletin, and all courses which
appear later in the regular University catalog, which have nui
above 100, may be counted as credit towards a graduate degree.
vided that courses numbered 100 to 199 inclusive, may receive ' -:
uate credit only with the approval of the student’s graduate «
mittee. A grade of D in a course will not be given graduate i
or residence.
FEES
Registration fees per quarter are the same as for undergrw
students in the college in which the major work is done, tli
$35.00 for residents of Kentucky; $55.00 for non—residents.

The major subject should be one in which he intends to concen—
ie his efforts; the minor subjects should be closely allied to the

REQUIREMENTS FOR CANDIDATES
VIDENCE
A minimum of three collegiate years of resident graduate work,
which at least the last year must be spent at the University of
Mucky, is required [or the doctorate. The full time of each of these
"5 must be spent in study. Part—time students and those holding
istantships or engaging in other outside activities will of course be
wired to take proportionately longer time.
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
Candidates for the doctor’s degree who major in the College ,
Education may not satisfy residence requirements entirely by atten.
ance in Summer Quarters, but must attend at least two semestt

While it is expected that a well—prepared student of good abil
may secure the degree upon the completion of three years of study.
should be understood that this time requirement is a minimum a; 1
is wholly secondary to the matter of scholarship. Neither time spi,
in study, however long. nor the accumulation of facts, however giu
in amount, nor the completion of advanced courses, however numi
ous, can be substituted for independent thinking and origii,
research.
Work done in other institutions of learning may be aCCCIM
toward the doctorate at the University of Kentucky but no work
credited which has not been done in a college or university of reci
nized standing or in a research laboratory.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
The applicant must give evidence of having a good read
knowledge and of being able to translate at sight at least two mod
foreign languages. This proficiency is determined by examinatt
conducted by the respective language departments. Ordinarily FI‘CI

sidered that such languages are of greater importance in the spen
field of work. The language requirements must be satisfied befi
the applicant can be admitted to the qualifying examination.
QUALIFYING EXAMINATION
Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are require(i
