The University of Kentucky began offering grad-
uate work in l870 and awarded its first graduate
degrees in l876. The Graduate School became a
distinct unit in the University organization in l9l2.
The Graduate School is concerned with advanced
study, graduate instruction and research conducted
by the faculty and students of all colleges and de—
pa rtments.
The total graduate resources of the
University are merged under it for the purpose of
promoting the achievements of knowledge in an
atmosphere of free and lively inquiry.
Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the
University. A general description, tabulation of
courses, and name of the Director of Graduate
Studies for each of the various programs is given in
the Programs and Directors of Graduate Studies sec-
tion of this bulletin.

Organization of the Graduate School
The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of The
Graduate School and all persons appointed thereto
by the President of the University. As the chief
University agency for the promotion of the ideals
of graduate study, it determines the policies of The
Graduate School and makes recommendations to
the University Senate and to the President, or to
other administrative officials as appropriate. All
rules affecting graduate work and the inauguration
of new graduate programs must be approved by the
Graduate Faculty.
Any proposed change in the rules of The Graduate
School must be included in the agenda of the meet—
ing and circulated to the Graduate Faculty at least
10 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be
considered.
New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed
to the Dean of The Graduate School at any time by
the college deans and department chairmen con-
cerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a
college faculty, by the Vice President for Academic
Affairs of the University. Eligibility qualifications
are as follows:
i. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in schol—
arly reputation.
2. The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent),
or higher.
3. Scholarly maturity and professional productiv—
ity as demonstrated by publications, editorial
services, research surveys, creative work, or
patents; and research in progress at the time of
appointment.
4. Definite interest in graduate work and the will—
ingness to participate in the graduate program.
Appointment to the Graduate Faculty is made by
the President of the University on nomination by the
Dean of The Graduate School after he/she and the
Graduate Council have studied the credentials sub--
mitted in support of the proposed members.
Associate members are appointed by the Dean
of The Graduate School upon nomination by the
Director of Graduate Studies. Associate membership
is limited to non—tenured assistant professors who
hold the doctorate, have been full-time members
of a faculty for at least one year, and have ini—
tiated a significant research effort. This member-
ship may continue no more than five years. As-
sociate members are authorized to teach graduate-
courses, direct masters’ theses, serve on and co-
chair doctoral committees, and attend and partici—
pate in Graduate FOCulty meetings. They do not
have voting privileges in the Graduate Faculty.
Administrative officers assigning teaching and
other duties to members of the Graduate Faculty
who are taking an active part in the graduate pro—
gram (i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses,
carrying on productive research, etc.) should make
appropriate reduction in the duties required of such
teachers.
The Role of the Dean
The Dean of The Graduate School is charged with
the administration of the policies adopted by the
Graduate Faculty and the University Senate relating
to graduate studies. He/she presides over all meet—
ings of the Graduate Faculty and calls meetings of
this faculty whenever he/she thinks it advisable or
whenever requested to do so by one-fourth of the
membership. He/she makes recommendations to
the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements
for advanced degrees, the regulations necessary to
insure a high standard of graduate work, and all
other aspects of the graduate program. He/she
appoints a committee for each graduate student,
arranges for final examinations, advises students
with regard to their studies and the requirements of
The Graduate School, and in all other ways ad-
ministers the graduate program in the interests of
efficient instruction and the highest attainment
possible on the part of each graduate student. He/
she is responsible for determining and certifying to
the Registrar candidates who have fulfilled require-
ments for advanced degrees.
The President and the Dean of the Graduate
School are members ex officio of all committees of
the Graduate Faculty.
The Graduate Council
The Graduate Council is composed of l3 mem-
bers and the Dean of The Graduate School, who is
chairman. There are eight elected faculty repre-
sentatives and three faculty members appointed by
the Dean of The Graduate School. One of the
elected members is from the College of Agriculture,
two from the College of Arts and Sciences, one from
the College of Business and Economics, two from
the College of Education, one from the College of
Engineering, and one from the College of Medicine.
The member or members from each of these col-
leges are elected by the Graduate Faculty members
in that college. Two graduate student members are
selected by the Council from a panel of four sub-
mitted by the Graduate and Professional Student
Association. The term of office of the elected and
appointed members is three years, and that of the
graduate students is one year. No member may
succeed himself/herself until three years have
elapsed since the completion of his/her last term.
The Graduate Council approves or disapproves
proposals concerning courses offered for graduate
credit, and advises and lends assistance to the Dean
in his execution of policies and regulations deter-
mined by the Graduate Faculty. Specifically, the
Council:
l. Studies requests of departments relating to pro—
posed graduate programs.
2. Reviews existing programs and courses.
3 In cooperation with the Dean, initiates recom-
mendations to the Graduate Faculty. (This pro-
cedure is not intended to prevent a faculty mem-
ber from bringing any recommendation or re—
quest directly before the Graduate Faculty.)
The Graduate Council has such authority as is
herein granted, or such as the Dean or the Graduate
Faculty may delegate to it. A majority of the
Graduate Council constitutes a quorum for the
transaction of business.
Directors of Graduate Studies
A Director of Graduate Studies serves as adviser
to each student majoring in his area until the stu-
dent has a thesis director. The Director of Grad-
uate Studies then recommends that the thesis direc—
tor be appointed the student’s adviser or committee
chairman. In areas where theses are not required,
the Director of Graduate Studies is the adviser for all
students not writing theses. All student schedules
must be endorsed by the student’s adviser.
If it is desirable, a Director of Graduate Studies
may recommend that additional advisers in the area
be appointed. A Director of Graduate Studies who
is to be absent from the University for as long as
a semester must call this fact to the attention of
the Dean so that a substitute may be appointed.
The Dean of The Graduate School, with the ad-
vice of the college dean(s) and the approval of the
President, may recommend to the Graduate Faculty
the areas of graduate study and research into which
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for
an area is a department. By common consent, how-
ever, certain departments may be grouped into an
area; and in exceptional cases a department may
be divided into two or more areas.) The Directors
of Graduate Studies for the various areas are ap-
pointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.
Establishment and Modification of Graduate Programs
An area which wishes to establish a new graduate
program or modify an existing one must submit its
program to the Graduate Council, which will make
recommendation concerning it to the Graduate Fac—
ulty.
8
Honorary Degrees
The selection of candidates for honorary degrees
originates in the Graduate Faculty, and the Grad-
uate Faculty makes its recommendations to the
University Senate.
Honorary degrees are normally conferred at the
May Commencement, but may be conferred at oth—
er times with the approval of the Graduate Faculty.
Recipients must be present in order to receive hon—
orary degrees.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the student to inform
himself/herself concerning all regulations and pro-
cedures required by the course of study he/she is
pursuing. In no case will a regulation be waived or
an exception granted because a student pleads
ignorance of the regulation or asserts that he/she was
not informed of it by his/her adviser or other author~
ity. Therefore, the student should become familiar
with The Graduate School Bulletin, including (I) the
section presenting the requirements for the degree
which he/she plans to take, and (2) the offerings
and requirements of his/her major department.
The student should consult the Director of Grad-
uate Studies of the department in which he/she will
do his/her work concerning course requirements,
any deficiencies, the planning of a program, and
special regulations. Departments may have degree
requirements that are not listed in the Bulletin.
It is to be noted that the Graduate Dean inter-
prets the Graduate Bulletin. Only the Graduate
Council may waive requirements stated in this
Bulletin.
Admission
An applicant for admission to the University
shall not be discriminated against because of race,
color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin,
age or beliefs.
Students seeking admission to the University of
Kentucky Graduate School must hold a baccalau-
reate degree from a fully accredited institution of
higher learning. A minimum undergraduate grade—
point average of 2.5 on the basis of 4.0 is required
by The Graduate School. Individual departments
may require a higher grade-point average.
All applicants for admission to degree programs
in The Graduate School must submit scores on the
verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate
Record Examination. The College of Business and
Economics may substitute the Admission Test for
Graduate Study in Business for MBA, DBA and Ac-
counting students. The Medical College Admission
Test or the Dental College Admission Test may be
substituted with the approval of the program con-
cerned.
Application forms can be obtained by writing:
Graduate School Admissions
Room 304, Patterson Tower
University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
40506
Applications and all supporting documents must
be submitted by the stated deadline (See Calendar).
It should be clearly understood that a graduate
student may not be able to begin immediately a full
graduate program leading to the degree he/she de-
sires; it may be necessary for him/her to satisfy pre-
requisites which he/she omitted in his/her under-
graduate curriculum. Deficiences are determined
by the department in which the major work is to be
done. Ordinarily, a graduate student may begin a
full program in any field in which he/she has a bal-
anced undergraduate major or its equivalent.
Admission to The Graduate School entitles a stu-
dent to take such courses as he/she desires, provided
he/she has the necessary prerequisites. However,
a student is not a candidate for a graduate degree
until he/she has been Admitted to Candidacy.
Attendance in The Graduate School at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky is not a right. It is a privilege
which may be withdrawn by the University or any
area of graduate study if it is deemed necessary by
the Dean of The Graduate School in order to safe—
guard the University’s standards.
FOREIGN APPLICANTS
For applications purposes, all non-U.S. citizens,
except permanent residents of the U.S., should re-
quest the Application Form for Foreign Students.
Applicants must have excellent grades and rank
in the top quarter of their classes. To be con-
sidered for entry as a graduate student an ap-
plicant must have had four years of univer-
sity level work following a 12-year elementary—
secondary program. Indian students: (a first class
record is normally expected although high second
class holders in non-science areas may be consid-
ered if they can offer further evidence of having
been in at least the top IO percent of their graduat-
ing class). .
When credentials are submitted in support of any
application, they should be either the original docu-
ments or certified copies (i.e., copies certified as
“true copies“ by a notary public or a United States
Embassy official). An official translation must be
attached to these records if they are in a language
other than English. Credentials should include a
record of all degrees earned, detailing all subjects
taken and grades obtained. Remember that uncer-
tified photostat copies are not adequate. Applica-
tions for admission are not considered complete
without official scores for the verbal and quantita—
tive portions of the Graduate Record Examination
or the Admissions Test for Graduate Study in Busi—
ness. For information concerning either of the tests
write to: Educational Testing Service, Box 955,
Princeton, NJ. 08540, or Educational Testing Serv-
ice, Box 1502, Los Angeles, Cal. 94701.
English Proficiency Requirement: The University
of Kentucky requires the Test of English as a For-
eign Language (TOEFL) of all applicants whose
native tongue is not English. The test is given four
times each year. To register you must obtain the
TOEFL Bulletin, which includes a registration form.
Bulletins are available in many locations outside the
U.S., usually at American embassies and consulates,
offices of the United States Information Service
(USIS), United States educational commissions and
foundations, binational centers, and many private
organizations such as the Institute of International
Education (lIE), African American Institute (AAI),
American Friends of the Middle East (AFME), and
American—Korean Foundation.
Candidates who plan to take TOEFL in any coun—
tries identified below must obtain a copy of the
Bulletin form, and must register through the agency
that is responsible for that country or region.

amount will cover the cost of tuition fees ($l260),
books and supplies ($200), room and meals
($l300-$l800), health insurance (explained below)
and incidentals, for a single person, from the end of
August to early May. The summer session costs will
total $900-$l lOO additional.
At the beginning of each registration period, the
student must have $1500 on hand to pay for tuition
fees, room and board and health insurance. These
items are payable in September and January and
cannot be paid in monthly installments.
University Housing: For information on Univer-
sity of Kentucky housing, write well in advance to:

Health Services. The University of Kentucky has
an excellent health care program for its students.
The Student Health Service clinic on campus is
staffed with physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists, so-
cial workers and nurses who are specialists in the
health problems of young adults.
Health Fees. Students pay a health fee each
semester that covers most of the services offered by
the Health Service.
Health Insurance. The health fee covers most of
the services provided at the student clinic. How-
ever, students must have a health insurance policy
to cover the cost of hospitalization, accident care,
and surgery. Foreign students must have insurance
that is payable in the United States.
Health Report Form. Foreign students cannot be
accepted for admission until the Graduate Admis-
sions Office has received a completed health form
indicating that the student has had a recent physical
examination. Health forms are mailed from the
Graduate Admissions Office prior to final admission.
Application Deadline For Foreign Students: Ap-
plications for admission and complete credentials
IO
should reach the Admissions Office at least six
months before the opening of the term you wish to
enter, that is, February l5 for the fall semester;
June l5 for the spring semester; and November 1
for all summer sessions.
READMlSSlON
Former University of Kentucky students in good
standing are eligible for readmission. They must
file an application for readmission by the stated
deadlines (See Calendar). An exception to this rule
is made on behalf of students who attend only Uni-
versity Summer Sessions. These students do not
have to apply for readmission to a Summer Session
if they were enrolled for the preceding Summer
Session.
Computerized registration cards, which must be
prepared in advance for any registration period,
are not made for a student after one semester's
absence from the University. It is only by the filing
of an application for readmission in advance that
the Registrar’s Office can be alerted to the fact
that a student intends to re-enter the University
and prepare for him/her the necessary registration
forms in time for registration.
UNCLASSIFIED GRADUATE STUDENTS
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree and
who wish to pursue graduate study without a de-
gree objective and students who do not fulfill the
entrance requirements of The Graduate School may
apply for admission as an unclassified graduate
student.
Admission to this status may be granted to an
applicant who (1) demonstrates promise but has not
qualified for admission to a degree program, or (2)
intends not to complete a degree program. Students
may take courses for graduate credit but may not
apply more than 12 hours of credit with a grade of
A or B earned in the unclassified status to any de-
gree program leading to an advanced degree at this
institution. All transfers of credit hours to a grad-
uate program must be approved by that program’s
Director of Graduate Studies and the Graduate
Dean.
Applications for admission to The Graduate
School as an unclassified graduate student should
be on file in the Admissions Office at least 30 days
in advance of the registration date for the term in
which the student plans to enroll.
If a student transfers hours from the University’s
Non-degree status to The Graduate School, those
hours must be included in the 12 hours taken as an
Unclassified student.
GRADUATING SENIORS AS PART-TIME
GRADUATE STUDENTS
A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking
no more than six credit hours for graduation and
having an undergraduate average of at least 2.5
on all work attempted may register in The Graduate
School with the consent of his/her college dean and
the Dean of The Graduate School. Approval of the
opprOpriate director of graduate studies is required
if the student is to be an applicant for a degree.
The total load of such a student may not exceed
l2 credit hours. Graduate credit will be allowed
for each credit hour of graduate work beyond the
six or fewer credit hours needed to complete under—
graduate requirements. Requirements for the under-
graduate degree must be completed during the se-
mester in which the student is allowed to register
for part-time graduate work. Students applying for
admission in The Graduate School under these condi-
tions must fill out in duplicate a petition form listing
the course or courses to be taken to complete their
undergraduate requirements. Petition forms are
available in the undergraduate departmental of-
fices. The petition must be approved by both deans
concerned.
ADVANCED DEGREES FOR FACULTY
MEMBERS
Members of the faculty, excepting those in the
Community College System, having a rank higher
than that of Instructor may not be considered as
candidates for degrees in the discipline in which
they are employed or as candidates for degrees
above the Master’s degree in any discipline.
General Requirements for All
Advanced Degrees
REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION
All students expecting graduate credit must be
enrolled in The Graduate School. Graduate students
will conform to the general registration schedule of
the University and may not enter later than the last
allowable date set by the Registrar.
Before registering, a graduate student must ob-
tain his/her adviser’s approval of his/her proposed
program.
THE GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATION
The Graduate Faculty has recently approved the
following requirement for admission to The Grad—
uate School, effective the fall semester, I975. All
applicants for admission to degree programs in
The Graduate School must submit scores on the
