D., DEAN INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT Graduate work is offered in all colleges in the University. Approximately a thousand cOurses are listed in the catalog, under the various departments, which are accepted for graduate credit. The following advanced degrees are conferred by the University: Master of Arts Master of Science Master of Science in Public Health Master of Science in Agriculture Master of Science in Home Economics Master of Science in Civil Engineering Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Master of Science in Metallurgical Engineering Master of Science in Mining Engineering Civil Engineer (C. E.) - Electrical Engineer (E. E.) Mechanical Engineer (M. E.) Metallurgical Engineer (Met. E.) Mining Engineer (E. M.) Master’of Arts in Education Master of Science in Education Doctor of Philosophy The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is offered with major work in the following departments: Chemistry, Education, Economics, English, History, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Political Science, Romance Languages, and in the combined fields of Agri- cultural Economics and Rural Sociology. Minor work may be car- ried in any department offering graduate courses. ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING Graduates ofinstitutions accredited by the University may be admitted to the Graduate School upon the presentation of a certificate of graduation and an official transcript of undergraduate courses taken. The status of the institution is to be ascertained from the Registrar of the University. Graduates from non—accredited institutions are encouraged to secure a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. In particular cases they may be admitted 8 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY to the Graduate School on the basis of doing additional work before being admitted to full graduate status. It should be clearly understood that admission to the Graduate School does not necessarily admit a student to full graduate status. A student only attains full graduate status when he has fulfilled all the preliminary requirements of the degree which he seeks and of the department under whose direction he is pursuing graduate work. Department prerequisites are determined jointly by the Dean of the Graduate School and the respective departments. In brief, it may , be stated that such prerequisites usually consist of the equivalent of an undergraduate major. In some fields, the equivalent of an under- graduate minor is sufficient. Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky having a rank higher than that of instructor may not be considered as candi~ dates for advanced degrees at this institution. REGISTRATION Graduate students should register in the Graduate School on special cards prepared for this purpose. Applicants from institutions other than this University are also required to file an official transcript showing (a) all undergraduate work covered, (b) graduate work taken, if any, and (c) degrees received. If the record submitted to the Registrar entitles him to admis- . nion he should confer with the Dean of the Graduate School and his major professor concerning preliminary requirements that he may have to satisfy and as to the graduate courses that he should take. Preliminary requirements may be added from time to time as found necessary and all such requirements, together with graduate courses, must be recorded in the Registrar’s Office and must be satisfied by the student before he is eligible for the degree for which he is registered. . . All courses listed in this bulletin, and all courses which may appear later in the regular University catalog, which have numbers above 100, may be counted as credit toward a graduate degree, pro— vided that courses numbered 100 to 199 inclusive, may receive grad- uate credit only with the approval of the student’s graduate com- mittee. A grade of D in a course will not be given graduate credit or residence. No graduate credit is given for courses taken by cor— respondence or class extension. FEES Registration fees per quarter are the same as. for undergraduate students in the college in which the major work is done, that is, $35.00 for residents of Kentucky; $55.00 for non—residents.‘ This does not include a general deposit of $6.00. GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN 9 Before the advanced degree is conferred, a fee of fifteen dollars must be paid at the, Comptroller’s Office of the University. This covers the graduation fee, diploma fee, fee for binding thesis and all other incidental fees. APPLICATION FOR DEGREE All candidates for degrees are required to make formal applica— tion for the degree at the office of the Registrar, on special cards provided for that purpose, at least four weeks prior to the date on which the degree is to be conferred. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED DEGREES A graduate student is expected to familiarize himself with the. requirements for the degree for which he is a candidate and is held responsible for the fulfillment of these requirements. This applies to the last dates on which theses may be accepted, the dates for examinations, the proper form for theses and all other matters regarding requirements for degrees. The University of Kentucky ofiers the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the eleven departments listed on page 7 of this bulletin, the regular academic degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science in all departments, and professional degrees in Public Health, Education, Engineering, Agriculture and Home Economics. The requirements for these various degrees are as follows: REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE CREDITS The candidate shall complete thirty—six quarter hours of gradu~ ate work in course with a standing of 2 and no grade below C shall be counted. COURSES The major field shall comprise, as to courses, two—thirds of the work and with electives (within the department or allied depart- . ments) of one—third of the work, except in the field of Education in which one— —half of the work must be in the major subject. The two shall have graduate relationship. All of the work may be taken within one department if the student desires. RESIDENCE The minimum residence requirement is one academic year of 36 weeks. This residence requirement may be fulfilled by any com- bination of quarters which total the required number of weeks. This does not mean that the work prescribed for each individual can always be completed in the minimum length of time. Inadequate preparation or assistance in departments very frequently make a 10 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY longer period necessary. Part-time work during a quarter is evalu- ated on the basis of the amount of work carried,‘but the amount of residence for part-time work is limited, except for graduate assistants and part-time instructors, to not more than four weeks in any one quarter. TRANSFER or CREDITS No transferred credits are accepted toward the Master of Arts or Master of Science degrees. All work for these degrees must be done at the University of Kentucky. However, a student is not asked to repeat a course which he has satisfactorily completed at another institution. ‘ THESIS A thesis is required of every candidate. Two typewritten copies of the completed thesis must be presented not later than three weeks before the time set for the oral examination. One copy is presented to the Dean of the Graduate School to be bound and placed in the University Library and the other. to the major professor to be retained by the department concerned. The Graduate School issues a special bulletin giving definite instructions regarding the form in which the thesis must be pre- sented, and stating the University regulations regarding the style of cover page, title page, biographical sketch, etc., which must be followed. Students are required to observe these instructions in submitting theses and dissertations. LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT . A reading knowledge of at least one modern foreign language is required. This language should be pertinent to the program of the student. The language requirement must be satisfied by an examina- tion given by the foreign language department offering instruction in the language concerned. The passing of this examination Shall satisfy one of the two language requirements for the doctorate. ' EXAMINATIONS ’ Examinations on regular class work are taken by all resident graduate students. A final oral examination is given the candidate not later than fifteen days before the close of the quarter. The Dean appoints an examining committee of at least three members for the purpose, selecting its members from the major and minor professors under whom work is done. The dean is ex officio a member of all such examining committees. The candidate is asked to defend his thesis and is examined on any subject matter related to his field. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EDUCATION AND MASTER OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION The professional degrees of Master of Artsin Education and Master of Science in Education are open to students who have re- GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN» 11 ceived either the degree of B. A. or B. A. in Education, or the degree of B. S. or B. S. in Education. Two plans are provided for satisfying the requirements for either of these degrees as follows: 1. Thirty-six quarter hours in graduate courses exclusive of the thesis with an average standing of 2 or better, one academic year (36 weeks) in residence, and an acceptable thesis. No grade below C is counted toward an advanced degree. 2. At the option of the department (not of the student) the master’s degree in education may be granted upon the completion of 54 quarter hours in graduate courses with an average standing of 2 or better, 48 weeks in residence, and no requirement of a thesis. ' There is‘ no language requirement for either of the professional degrees in education. No student may satisfy more than one-half of the requirements for advanced 'degrees in the College of Education by part time work. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURE AND MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HOME ECONOMICS Students holding a bachelor’s degree from a standard agricul- tural college may obtain the degree of Master of Science in Agri— culture or Master of Science in Home Economics by satisfying the following requirements: 1. The completion of 36 quarter hours of graduate work with an average standing of 2 or better, 36 weeks in residence, and a thesis, or 2. The completion of 54 quarter hours of graduate work with a standing of 2 or better, 48 weeks in residence, and no thesis requirement. Under either plan no grade below C may be counted. 4. One-half of the work must be 'in one department, the re- mainder in any other department or departments approved by the major professor. 5. There is no language requirement for either of these profes— sional degrees. In either case a final oral examination is given the candidate not later than 15 days before the close of the quarter in which the degree is to be secured. The candidate is expected to show a comprehen- sive knowledge of the subject matter related to the field of his major work and in case a thesis has been prepared to defend same. 12 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY Graduate students in the College of Agriculture fall into four groups: . ' Group I.—Those who have presented the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture or Home Economics and plan to prepare a thesis under the direction of a major professor in their graduate work. _ Group II.—Those who do not have the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture or Home Economics and plan to prepare a thesis. Such students may not have had certain essential under- graduate work. In such cases the major professor will recommend to the graduate committee a plan to strengthen the student in such weaknesses. When approved by the committee this plan will become the basis of.the student’s graduate program. Group III—Those students who have the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture or Home Economics and request the option to omit the thesis and present 54 quarter hours in graduate courses and 48 weeks of residence, Such students will be assigned a graduate adviser who will aid them in preparing a program for graduate work. The program will be submitted to the Graduate Committee for approval early in the student’s residence period. Group IV.——Those students who do not have the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture or Home Economics and who request the option to omit the thesis and present 54 quarter hours in graduate courses and 48 weeks of residence. Students in this group will be assigned a graduate adviser who will paid them in preparing a state- ment of the candidate’s program for the master’s degree. Approval of this program by the Committee must be obtained early in the student’s residence period. Candidates in Group ,IV should take one or more courses, preferably advanced com‘ses, in each department of the College of Agriculture in which there is a required course for the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture or Home Economics. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC HEALTH Students holding a bachelor’s degree from a fully accredited ‘institution or the M. D. degree from a recognized Medical School may obtain the degree of Master of Science in Public Health by satisfying the following requirements: 1. Thirty-six quarter hours in graduate courses with an aver- age standing of 2 or better. No grade below C may be counted. Thirty-six weeks in residence. An acceptable thesis. . The passing of a final comprehensive examination. There is no language requirement for this degree. egeww GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN 13 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED DEGREES IN ENGINEERING Two classes of advanced degrees are offered in the College of Engineering, the Masters’ Degrees and the Professional Degrees. THE MASTERs’ DEGREES IN ENGINEERING. The Masters’ degrees in engineering may be obtained by satisfying the following require— ments: 1. Thirty—six quarter hours in graduate courses with an aver- age standing of 2 or better. No grade below C may be counted. Thirty—six weeks in residence. An acceptable thesis. Two—thirds of the work must be in the major subject. There is no language requirement for these degrees. egeww The candidate must hold the corresponding Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from this institution or from another engineer- ing school of recognized standing. The degrees offered are Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Master of Science in Electrical Engi— neering, Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Master of Science in Metallurgical Engineering, Master of Science in Mining Engineering. . THE PROFESSIONAL DEGREES IN ENGINEERING. The professional degree of Civil Engineer (C. E), Electrical Engineer (E. E.), Mechanical Engineer (M. E.), Metallurgical Engineer (Met. E.), or Mining Engineer (E. M.) will be granted only to graduates of the University of Kentucky, College of Engineering, who present satisw factory evidence of professional work of creditable quality in the engineering fields of their choice, extending over a period of five years, and who submit satisfactory theses as further evidence of their professional attainments. A candidate holding a master’s degree in engineering shall be considered to have fulfilled two years of the five-year requirement for the corresponding professional degree. An application for a professional degree must be made to the Dean of the Graduate School and have the approval of the Graduate Committee of the College of Engineering not less than one academic year before the degree may be granted. The Graduate Committee will pass on the qualifications of each applicant. It may, at its discretion, require an oral examination. The applicant is expected to submit a record of his engineering experience, which should include a complete list of his professional engagements, showing in each case the length of time employed and the position held. He should give for references the names of at least three persons who are familiar with his engineering work. Preferably these persons should be connected with the organizations by whom he has been employed. 14 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY A thesis is required of each candidate. It may be in the field - of research, design, invention or engineering processes and methods. It-must contain some original thought and be the product of the individual submitting it. Quotations and references with the proper credit may be used. In general, the thesis should be of such anature that it will be of Value to the engineering profession. The candidate holding a bachelor’s degree in one field of engi- neering may apply for the professional degree in another field of engineering if he has attained unusual prominence and success in that field. FEES. Except for part time work the fees for a resident student who is a candidate for a master’s degree in engineering are the same as for undergraduates. (See the regular University catalog.) The fees for a professional degree are $15.00 for registration and $15.00 . for graduation. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is conferred upon a candi- date who, after completing not less than three years of graduate work devoted to the study of. a special field of knowledge, passes the required examination in the subjects, presents a satisfactory dis— sertation, and is deemed worthy of recognition as a scholar of high attainments in his chosen province. The Doctor’s degree is intended to represent not a specified amount of work covering a specified time, but the attainment, through long study, of independent and comprehensive scholarship in a special field. Such a scholarship should be shown by a thorough acquaintance with present knowledge in his special field of learning and a marked capacity for research. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANT ADMISSION Admission to the Graduate School and acceptance of advanced credits from other institutions must first be approved by the Registrar. In order to be accepted as an applicant for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy the student must present evidence that he has com— pleted an undergraduate course and has received his baccalaureate degree from a college of recognized standing. The Graduate Committee reserves the right to decide in each case of applicancy for a degree whether the prerequisite training has been satisfactory and, if any of the years of advanced work have been passed in another institution, whether, they may be properly regarded as having been spent under suitable guidance and favorable conditions. Private study is not considered as equivalent to univer- GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN 15 sity work. In any case the student must pass the qualifying exami— nations at the University of Kentucky and spend the last year of the residence requirement at this institution. CLASSIFICATION A student wishing to become an applicant for the Doctor’s degree must first regularly register in the Graduate School of the University of Kentucky and must then classify with the Dean of the Graduate School who will appoint a special committee for that student. This special committee, the chairman of which shall be his major profes— sor, will consist of members of the departments in which the appli— cant elects to do his major and minor work and this committee will supervise his work throughout his period of study. Not every applicant for the Doctor’s degree is a candidate. A student is not a candidate forthe degree until he has satisfied the language requirements, passed the qualifying examinations, and has made formal application to be so enrolled. COURSES OF STUDY Every applicant for the degree must select one major and at ‘ least one and not more than two minor subjects. The major-subject should be one in which he intends to concen— trate his efforts; the minor subjects should be closely allied to the major field or be subjects which will be of value in the major work and Should be approved by the major department. .. The applicant’s principal work must be in the major subject. Although no absolute regulations are laid down in respect to the time to be devoted to the major and minor subjects, it may be stated in general that the major subject should represent two—thirds of the student’s entire time. Any regular graduate course may be assigned as part of the applicant’s work by his special committee. Only courses numbered above 100 in the University catalogue are considered as of graduate status. The number and extent of such courses is determined by the special committee. REQUIREMENTS FOR CANDIDATES RESIDENCE A minimum of three collegiate years of resident graduate work, of which at least the last year must be spent at the University of Kentucky, is required for the doctorate. The full time of each of. these years must be spent in study. Part-time students and those holding assistantships or engaging in other outside activities will of course be required to take proportionately longer time. While it is expected that a well—prepared student of good ability may secure the degree upon the completion of three years of study, it >16 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY should be understood that this time requirement is a minimum and is wholly secondary to the matter of scholarship. Neither time spent in study, however long, nor the accumulation of facts, however great in amount, nor the completion of advanced courses, however numer- ous, can be substituted for independent thinking and original research. ' Work done in other institutions of learning may be accepted toward the doctorate at the University of Kentucky but no work is credited which has not been done in a college or university of recog— nized standing or in a research laboratory. LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS The applicant must give evidence of having a good reading knowledge and of being able to translate at sight at least two modern foreign languages. This proficiency is determined by examinations conducted by the respective language departments and these examinations must be taken at the University of Kentucky. Ordinarily French and German are expected to be offered, but other languages may be substituted on recommendation of the special committee if it is considered that such languages are of greater importance in the special field of work. The language requirements must be satisfied before the applicant can be admitted to the qualifying examination. QUALIFYING EXAMINATION Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are required to pass a Qualifying Examination. This examination should be taken during the last quarter of the second year of residence. The exami— nation shall be both oral and written and shall cover both major and minor subjects. It shall be prepared and given to the applicant by a committee of five to be appointed by the Dean of the Grad- uate School. The language requirements must have been met before the qualifying examination is taken. No applicant is eligible for his final examination until one year of work has been completed- in residence after he has passed the qualifying examination. If the applicant fails to pass the qualifying exam
