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 ad—
vanced 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 knowledge 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 GraduateDegreePrograms
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 Uni-
versity 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
mustbe included in the agenda of its meeting and circulated
