ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING

Graduates of institutions accredited by the University may be
admitted to the Graduate School upon the presentation of a certiﬁcate
0f graduation and an official transcript of undergraduate courses
taken. The status of the institution is to be ascertained from the
Ilegistl‘ar of the University. Graduates from non-accredited institu-
llOHS are encouraged to secure a bachelor’s degree from an accredited
"lﬁtitution. In particular cases they may be admitted to the Graduate

clearly understood that admission to the Graduate
recessarily admit a student to full graduate status.

6 UNIVERSITY or .KENTUCKY

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 candl
dates for advanced degrees at this institution.

REGISTRATION

Graduate students should register in the Graduate School on spe-
cial 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 entitled him to admis-
sion 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 satis-
ﬁed 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 towards a graduate degree.
A grade of D in a course will not be given graduate credit or residence.

FEES

Registration and laboratory fees are the same as for undergrad'
uate students in the college in which the major work is done, thatisv
$47.00 for residents of Kentucky; $60.00 for non-residents. This (1095
not include laboratory fees.

Before the advanced degree is conferred, a fee of ﬁfteen dollarS
must be paid at the Business Office of the University. This covers
the graduation fee, diploma fee, fee for binding thesis and all Ollier
incidental fees.

APPLICATION FOR DEGREE
All candidates for degrees are required to make formal applic
for the degree at the office of the Registrar, on special cards DI'OVided
for that purpose, at least one month before 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 exam-
inations, the proper form for theses and all other matters regarding
requirements for degrees.

The University of Kentucky otters the degree of Doctor of Philoso-
phy in the eight departments listed 011 page 5 of this bulletin, the
regular academic degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science in
all departments and professional degrees in 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 twenty-four semester hours of grad-

uate 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, approximately two-
thlrds of the work and a minor (within the department or allied

departments) of approximately one-third of the work. The two shall
have graduate relationship.

RESIDENCE

The minimum residence requirement is one academic year of 36
weeks. This residence requirement may be fulﬁlled by any combina-

tion of regular semester or summer school sessions 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
1011861' period necessary. Part-time work during a regular semester is
evaluated on the basis of the amount of work carried.

examination in the subjects, presents a satisfactory dissertation, and
is deemed worthy of recognition as a scholar of high attainments in
his chosen province. 9 . _

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 capac-
ity 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 completed
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 condi-
tions. Private study is not considered as equivalent to university
work. In any case the student must pass the qualifying examinations
at the University of Kentucky and spend the last year of the residence
requirements 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 professor,
will consist of members of the departments in which the applicant
elects to do his major and minor work and this committee will super-
vise his work throughout his period of study.

Not. every applicant for the Doctor’s degree is a candidate. A
student is not a candidate for the degree until he has passed the quali-
tying examinations, satisﬁed the language requirements, and made
formal application to be so enrolled.

COURSES or 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.

UNlVlCRSI'l‘Y on KlCN’l'IT(' K r

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 sd’bject should represent two~thirds of the
student‘s entire time.

Any regular graduate course may be assigned as part of the appli.
:ant‘s work by his special committee. Only courses numbered above
100 in the University catalogue are considered as of a 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 Ken-
tucky, 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 a proportionately longer time.

Candidates for the doctor’s degree who major in the College of
Education may not satisfy residence requirements entirely by attend-
ance in Summer Sessions, but must attend at least two semesters dur-
ing the regular college year. (See announcement under EDUCATION.)

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
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 dorie’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 knowl-
edge 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. The German department will
examine applicants during each semester and also during the summer
session. 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 im-
portance in the special ﬁeld of work. The language requirements must
be satisﬁed before the applicant can be admitted to the qualifying
examination.

tion 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 Graduate School.
The language requirements must have been met before the qualifying
examination is taken. No applicant may proceed to his ﬁnal examina-
tion until one year of work has been completed after he has passed
the qualifying examination. If the applicant fails to pass the quali-
fying examination, no rte-examination shall be allowed except upon the
recommendation of the special committee and the approval of the
Graduate Faculty. If the applicant passes the qualifying examina
tion he is then considered as a candidate for the degree and may make
formal application for his rating.

DISSERTATION

Each candidate must present a dissertation covering his thesis
work. This dissertation must give evidence of the candidate’s ability
to carry on independent investigation and must be satisfactory in
style and composition. It must represent a deﬁnite contribution to
the knowledge of his subject, must be the result of independentwork,
must include original research and must in some way add to or other-
wise modify what was previously known on the subject. Two bound
typewritten copies of the thesis and an abstract of not less than 1,200
1101' more than 3,000 words must be formally presented to the Dean of
the Graduate School at least four weeks before the iinal examination.

to the University within one year from the time when the degree is
conferred. Not later than one week before the conferring of the degree
the candidate must deposit with the Business Agent of the University
the sum of $50.00, this amount to be returned if the printed copies
are received within the time speciﬁed. The University does not obli-
gate itself to publish the thesis but if in the judgment of the Graduate
Committee the thesis or an abstract of same should be published, the
University reserves the privilege of so doing.

—07‘——

The candidate may have the dissertation printed at his own
exDense, in which case he must present one hundred copies to the Uni-
versity before the degree is granted. If the candidate has the disser~
tation printed at his own expense, he will be expected to use good
