THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

 

The University of Kentucky began offering graduate work in 1870
and awarded its first graduate degrees in 1876. The Graduate
School became a distinct unit in the University organization in
1912.

The mission of the Graduate School is to promote advanced
study, graduate instruction, and research by the faculty and
students of all colleges and departments. The total graduate
resources of the University are merged under the Graduate
School for the purpose of promoting the acquisition of knowl-
edge in an atmosphere of free and lively inquiry.

Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the University. A
general description and tabulation of courses for each of the
various programs is given in the Graduate Degree Programs
section of this bulletin.

The Graduate Faculty

The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of the Graduate
School, Associate Deans of the Graduate School, and Full and
Associate Graduate Faculty Members. 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 Faculty
must be included in the agenda of its meeting 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 chairs concerned, or in the case of persons not
attached to a college faculty, by the Provost. Eligibility qualifica-
tions are as follows:

1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly reputation.

2. The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent), or higher.

3. Scholarly maturity and professional productivity as demon-
strated by publications, editorial services, research sur-
veys, creative work or patents, and research in progress at
the time of appointment.

4. Demonstrated participation in graduate teaching and re-
search in the program.

Any faculty member, regardless of specific title series of
appointment, is eligible for consideration for membership on
the Graduate Faculty. Appointment is based on academic
credentials, degree of involvement in the graduate degree
programs, and departmental recommendation.

Once Full Graduate Faculty status is attained, membership
is continuous unless a change in status is recommended by a
graduate program to the Dean of the Graduate School, who will
present the recommendation to the Graduate Council. Associ-
ate membership is limited to a term of six years with reappoint-
ment possible after departmental review.

Appointment to Full Graduate Faculty membership is made
by the Provost and/or the Dean of the Graduate School after
consultation with the Graduate Council when appropriate.

Full members of the Graduate Faculty are particularly respon-
