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 institu-
tlon. In particular cases they may be admitted 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 equivalentog
an undergraduate major. In some fields, the equivalent of an under.
graduate minor is sufficient.

Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky havinga
rank higher than that of instructor may not be considered as canlt»
dates for advanced degrees at this institution.

REGISTRATION

Graduate students should register in the Graduate School a:
special cards prepared for this purpose.

Applicants from institutions other than this University are ah:
required to file an official transcript showing (a) all undergraduate
work covered, (b) graduate work taken, if any, and (c) degrees re
ceived.

If the record submitted to the Registrar entitled him to admissioz
he should confer with the Dean of the Graduate School and his main}
Professor concerning preliminary requirements that he may have [i
satisfy and as to the graduate courses that he should take.

Preliminary requirements may be added from time to timeas
found necessary and all such requirements, together with graduat
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 heis
registered.

All courses listed in this bulletin, and all courses which ml.i
appear later in the regular University catalog, which have numbPfi
above 100, may be counted as credit towards a graduate degreel
grade of D in a course will not be given graduate credit or resident?-

FEES

Registration and laboratory fees are the same as for undergradu'
ate students in the college in which the major work is done, thatLl
$47.00 for residents of Kentucky; $60.00 for non-residents. This doe
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 ll?
graduation fee, diploma fee, fee for binding thesis and all other 1“”
dental fees.

GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN

for that purpose, at least one month before the date on which the

degree is to be conferred.
The requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of

Science are as follows:

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-
thirds of the work and a minor (within the department or allied de-
partments) 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
longer period necessary. Part-time work during a regular semester is
evaluated on the basis of the amount of work carried.

TRANSFER OF 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 in-
stitution.

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 re-
tained by the department concerned.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

. A reading knowledge of at least one foreign language is required.
ThlS language should be pertinent to the program of the student. The
language requirement must be satisfied by an examination given by
the forelgn language department offering instruction in the language
concerned. The passing of this examination shall satisfy one of the
two language requirements for the doctorate.

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is conferred upon a candidate
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 dissertation, and
is deemed worthy of recognition as a scholar of high attainmentsin
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 acquaint-
ance with present knowledge in his special field of learning anda
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 completed
an undergraduate course and has received his baccalaureate (19ng
from a college of recognized standing.

The Graduate Committee reserves the right to decide in each car:
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 cordl
tions. Private study is not considered as equivalent to universill
work. In any case the student must pass the qualifying examination:
at the University of Kentucky and spend the last year of the resident
requirements at this institution.

CLASSIFICATION:

A student wishing to become an applicant for the Doctor’s deg”?
must first regularly register in the Graduate School of the Universitr
0f Kentucky and must then classify with the Dean of the Gl‘ledua‘E
School who will appoint a special committee for that student. THE
special committee, the chairman of which shall be his major professor-

elects to do his major and minor work and this committee will snlJEI'
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 (1113”

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 tw0~thirds of the
student’s entire time.

Any regular graduate course may be assigned as part of the appli-
cant’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 Ken-
tucky, is required for the doctorate. The full time of each of these
years must bevspent 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 wellprepared 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 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 knowl—
edge and of being able to translate at sight at least two modern foreign
languages. This proficiency is determined by examinations conducted

examine applicants once each semester and once during the 511mm
session. The dates for such examinations will be 011 record in the
Graduate School office. Ordinarily French and German are expected
to be offered, but other languages may be substituted on recommend.
tion of the special committee if it is considered that such language:
are of greater importance in the special field of work. The language
requirements must be satisfied before the applicant can be admittnj

ing the second semester of the second year of residence. The examina.
tion shall be both oral and written and shall cover both majonani
minor subjects. It shall be prepared and given to the applicant bya
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 examinn
