Minor Work may be carried in any department offering graduate
courses.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING

Graduates 0f 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
Registrar of the University. Graduates from non-accredited institu-
tions are encouraged to secure a bachelor’s degree from an accredited
institution. 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.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

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 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 courss 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, that is,
$50.00 for residents of Kentucky; $63.00 for non-residents. This does
not include laboratory fees.

Before the advanced degree is conferred, a fee of ﬁfteen (1
must be paid at the Business 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 application
for the degree at the ofﬁce of the Registrar, on special cards provided
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 offers the degree of Doctor of Philoso-
phy in the; nine departments listed on 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
(Imus

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
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
longer period necessary. Part-time work during a regular semester is
eVilluated on the basis of the amount of work carried, but the amount
0f residence for part-time work is limited, except for graduate assist-
ants and part-time instructors, to not more than six weeks in any one
gemester or summer session.

8 UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY

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

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 presented,
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 foreign language is required.
This language should be pertinent to the program of the student,
The language requirement must be satisﬁed by an examination 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.

The language examinations are given by the foreign language
departments on the ﬁrst of October, the ﬁrst of March (unless these
dates fall on Sunday, in which case the examinations will be held
the following Monday) and during the second week of the ﬁrst term 0f
the Summer Session. These examinations are given at no other
times and students must take the examinations on the dates speCiﬁ€d
in order to qualify for their degrees for the following commencement-

EXAMINATIONS

Examinations of regular class wor
graduate students. A ﬁnal oral examination is given
not later than ﬁfteen days before the close of the semester. The De“

GRADUATE SCHOOL BULLETIN 11

The fees for residence students who are candidates for M. S.
degrees in engineering are the same as for undergraduates (see
page 6). The fees for the Professional degrees are $15.00 registration
fee and $15.00 graduation fee.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF
PHILOSOPHY

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 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 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 hasbeen
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.

UNIVERSITY or KENTUCKY

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 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 appli-
cant’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, Spellt
in study, however long, nor the accumulation of facts, however great
in amount, nor the completion of advancd courses, however numer'
ous, can be subsituted for independent thinking and original research-

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 impor—
tance 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 shall be taken dur-
ing the second semester of the second year of residence. The examina-
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-
tying examination, no reexamination 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 independent work,
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
nor more than 3,000 words must be formally presented to the Dean of
the Graduate School at least four weeks before the ﬁnal examination.

PRINTING on DISSERTATION '
One hundred printed copies of the dissertation must be presented
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

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

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.

.__Or__.

The candidate may have the dissertation printed at his own
expense, 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
substantial paper and sightly typography. A page four by six inches
with outside margin of at least one inch is recommended. The disser-
tation must have a. cover and title page and the latter, in addition to
the title and the name of the author, must bear the following inscrip-
tion:

“A dissertation submitted in partial fulﬁllment of the require
ments for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of
Kentucky.”

If the dissertation is published in a technical journal or other
recognized educational publication, the reprints will be accepted it
presented with special printed covers and proper title page.

APPLICATION

All candidates who desire to be admitted to the ﬁnal examination
must ﬁle an application, approved by the Dean of the Graduate School,
with the Registrar of the University at least three weeks before the
examination is held.

FINAL EXAMINATION

After the acceptance of the dissertation by the special committee
and the Dean of the Graduate School, the candidate shall be given a
ﬁnal oral examination by a committee of ﬁve members which shall
include the Head of the Major Department or his delegate presiding,
one additional professor selected by the major department, one pm
fessor selected by each of the minor departments and additional mem-
bers (to make the total of ﬁve) selected by the Dean of the Graduate
School. The President of the University and the Dean of the Graduate
School are ex oﬁ‘icio members of all examining committees.

The
