## THE UNIVERSITY: A HISTORY OF PUBLIC SERVICE

## MORE THAN A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

From its modest beginnings as a small normal school that trained Black teachers for Black schools in Kentucky, Kentucky State University has evolved to become a unique liberal studies institution, serving students without regard to their race, age, sex, national origin, or economic status.

The University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky. During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, when vivid recollections of the Civil War remained, the city's 4,000 residents were keenly interested in having the new institution located in Frankfort. Toward that end, the city donated $1,500—a considerable amount in those days—and a site on a scenic bluff overlooking the town. This united display of community enthusiasm and commitment won the day. The new college was located in Frankfort in spite of competition from several other cities.

Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college’s first building, was erected in 1887. The new school opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president. In 1890, the institution became a land grant college, and the departments of home economics, agriculture, and mechanics were added to the school’s curriculum. The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the twentieth century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State College for Colored Persons. In the early 1930s, the high school was discontinued, and, in 1938, the school was named the Kentucky State College for Negroes. The term “for Negroes” was dropped in 1952. Kentucky State College became a university in 1972, and, in 1973, the first graduate students enrolled in its School of Public Affairs.

Kentucky State University's 882-acre campus includes a 204-acre agricultural research farm and a 306-acre environmental education center. Kentucky State University has an enrollment of nearly 1800 students and more than 100 full-time instructional faculty members.

Kentucky State University, today, has more than 43 campus structures to serve its family. Many courses are taught each academic year in off-campus classes throughout Franklin County and the surrounding six-county service area. The University's student-faculty ratio is the lowest among public institutions of higher learning in Kentucky. Today's students have the opportunity to receive an associate (two-year) degree in two disciplines, a baccalaureate (four-year) degree in 38 majors, several of which have optional specializations, a master's degree in seven disciplines, and a doctoral degree in nursing practice. Students may also elect to prepare for professional schools through the University's arrangements with the University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville, the University of Maryland at College Park, Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, Florida A&M University, Northern Kentucky University,

===== PAGE 21 =====

## VISION

Kentucky State University prepares today's student as global citizens, lifelong learners, and problem solvers.

## MISSION

Kentucky State University, building on its legacy of achievement as a historically Black, liberal arts, and 1890 Land-Grant University, affords access to and prepares a diverse student population of traditional and non-traditional students to compete in a multifaceted, ever-changing global society by providing student-centered learning while integrating teaching, research, and service through high-quality undergraduate and select graduate programs. Kentucky State University is committed to keeping relevant its legacy of service by proactively engaging the community in partnerships on civic projects driven by the objective of positively impacting the quality of life of the citizens of the Commonwealth.

## Degree Levels

Selective associate degree and baccalaureate degree programs shall be oriented toward liberal studies and selected career opportunities related to state government services among countless others. Kentucky State University shall offer selected master's and doctoral degree programs based on demonstrated need, with a priority given to a public administration curriculum to meet the needs of state government.

## Strategic Directions/Program Priorities

The University shall focus on liberal studies programming. Drawing upon its African American heritage, the University will promote the values and methods of interdisciplinary and multicultural education in its liberal studies offerings. All students shall participate in common curricula that explore the liberal studies. Drawing upon the multicultural strengths of the University, emphasis shall be placed on preparing students for careers in education and in other selected professions, including aquaculture, business, criminal justice, computer science, nursing, psychology, and public services. These strategic priorities translate into a core of liberal arts baccalaureate degree programs, in addition to degree program priorities at the associate (A), baccalaureate (B), master's (M), and doctoral (D) levels that may include the following: education (B, M); business (B, M); computer science (B, M); nursing (A, B, D); human services (B); public administration (B, M); and aquaculture/aquatic science (M).

## Enhancement of Instruction

The University shall emphasize teaching. Meeting student needs shall be paramount. The University shall focus on the needs of its students, which include, but are not limited to, full-time and part-time residential students, commuting students from its primary service area, and state government employees.

## Service and Research Functions

As the Commonwealth's 1890 Land Grant institution, Kentucky State University shall fulfill its responsibilities under federal law and participate fully in appropriate U.S. Department of

===== PAGE 22 =====
Agriculture programs, in accordance with the mission of the University. Kentucky State University shall be the major repository for the collection of books, records, and artifacts relative to the history and status of African American citizens of the Commonwealth and elsewhere. The University shall make such materials available for casual study and scholarly research. Kentucky State University shall focus on meeting the applied research and service needs of state government.

## Collaborative Ventures

The priority master's degree programs offered by Kentucky State University shall be carefully articulated with related doctoral programs offered by the doctoral-granting institutions in the system. The University shall develop and employ technological resources to communicate with other institutions in the fulfillment of its mission. Curriculum development shall emphasize the transfer of credits from other institutions toward degree completion.

## Efficiency and Effectiveness

Kentucky State University shall promote cost effectiveness in academic programming and institutional management. Strategic planning, resulting in the elimination of duplicative or nonproductive programs, is essential while the development of carefully selected new programs compatible with the University's mission is appropriate. Measures of quality and performances shall be the foundation of the University's assessment and accountability system which promotes the continuous improvement of programs and services.

## KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY: ONE OF A KIND

KSU's location in Frankfort, Kentucky's capital city, permits the University to offer unique and outstanding state government student internships that cannot be matched by any other Kentucky higher education institution. Kentucky State University's educational mission, though centered on degree programs that emphasize liberal studies, also places considerable importance on the University's public service commitments. State government training capabilities are under the auspices of the Governmental Services Center at Kentucky State University. Thousands of state government employees are drawn annually to the University's campus to attend workshops and seminars.

Kentucky State University is truly unique among the state's public universities. The University, now well into its second century of educational service to Kentucky and the nation, continuously seeks to become an even more vital educational entity and to achieve excellence as a liberal studies institution that is second to none.

## THE SETTING ON THE HILL

Going to college is more than just going to class, and at Kentucky State University an important part of the student experience is the mix of activities, cultural events, and recreation that make up life on the campus which sits upon a scenic hill overlooking Frankfort. Students have many opportunities to enjoy themselves outside the classroom. The calendar includes concerts and dances; swimming activities; talent shows; homecoming activities, and intercollegiate sports (football, baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball games, cross country, track and field, and golf).

===== PAGE 23 =====
Intramural competition provides an outlet for many students. Among the men's, women's, and coed intramural activities are archery, badminton, basketball, bowling, softball, flag football, swimming, track, table tennis, tennis, and volleyball. In the local area, recreational opportunities include boating, water skiing, camping, cycling, fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, jogging, and weight training, as well as the nearly limitless sightseeing that Kentucky's historic and scenic Bluegrass region offers. The University dedicated, during its May 1995 Commencement program, the William Exum Center, a nearly $12,000,000, 123,000-square foot multipurpose facility to meet present and future University needs for health, physical education, and recreation programs. Designed for student use, the William Exum Center contains four multipurpose playing courts with electronic scoreboards and spectator areas in its gymnasium; an eight-lane indoor swimming pool with an adjacent diving well; four racquetball courts equipped with injury-preventing "floating floors"; a fully equipped fitness center with aerobic machines and weight-training equipment; a 2,000 square-foot-dance studio lined with mirrored walls and bars; a gymnastics area equipped with uneven bars, safety mats, and belts; and a second-level jogging track suspended above the gymnasium area.

Cultural experiences are considered an integral part of a liberal studies education. Numerous cultural events are scheduled throughout every academic year —many by the University and many by local organizations that use campus facilities for events open to students as well as to the general public.

Bradford Hall has practice rooms and rehearsal halls available for instrumental and vocal ensembles. The Bradford Hall Auditorium and Little Theatre are available for concerts, lectures, and plays. Art and photography exhibitions attended by the public from Frankfort and the surrounding area as well as by University students, faculty, and staff.

Public figures spanning the spectrum of political and human endeavors appear often at Kentucky State University. Luminaries such as poet Gwendolyn Brooks; United States Senator William Proxmire; actress Cicely Tyson; author Alex Haley; American philosopher Mortimer Adler; UPI White House Correspondent Helen Thomas; former Miss America Debbie Turner; the Reverend Jessie Jackson; NAACP executive director Benjamin Hooks; journalist and former White House press secretary Jody Powell; comedian Sinbad; singers Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.; tennis star Arthur Ashe, Jr.; football star Roderick Hill; classics performer Frank E. Fowle III; professional football coach Dan Reeves; author Terri McMillan; Harvard Professor of Psychiatry Alvin Pouissant; neurochemist Ivan Mefford; poet John Ciardi; high school principal Joe Clark; social commentator Tony Brown; jazz and classical musician David Baker; World Bank official Gretchen Handwerger; former Heavy Weight Champion of the World Muhammad Ali; former U.S. Secretary of Education Terrel H. Bell; former first lady Rosalyn Carter; author and Soviet defector Vladimir N. Sakharov; Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Moneta Sleet, Jr.; Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton; Olympic Gold Medalist Edwin Moses; and social activist Bobby Seals. Most of the Frankfort Arts Foundation's annual presentations—which include symphonic concerts, ballets, play productions, and operas—take place on the Kentucky State University campus.

===== PAGE 24 =====
## THE STATE CAPITAL: AN EXTENDED CAMPUS

Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky and the home of Kentucky State University, lies on the western edge of the state's Bluegrass Region. The city of 30,000, which is more than 200 years old, grew along the banks of the Kentucky River in a small valley bordered by limestone cliffs. Preservation of historic structures throughout the city adds to its picturesque quality. Easily accessible by major highways, Frankfort is within a short drive of Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Frankfort’s history is rich with familiar names and events. Daniel and Rebecca Boone are buried in a cemetery overlooking the city, just a few minutes’ walk from Kentucky State University’s campus. In the old Statehouse, Aaron Burr was brought before a grand jury on the charge of treason. The Military History Museum contains artifacts going back to the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods. Old houses at the Corner of Celebrities, located in the city’s oldest residential neighborhood, have at different times been the residences of governors, Supreme Court judges, senators, and other noted statesmen. The Old Capitol Building is a finely restored example of Greek revival architecture and the first public work by renowned architect Gideon Shryock. Its marble double-spiral staircase is a beautiful example of innovative design and superb craftsmanship.

The Orlando Brown House, also designed by Shryock, and Liberty Hall, built by statesman John Brown, served as meeting places for such famous figures as Zachary Taylor, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, and Theodore Roosevelt. These two houses, along with the Glen Willis House, provide the city with beautiful areas for public receptions and with formal gardens along the river.

Today, offices of state government, the University, and local organizations join together to provide the city with places and events of interest. Beautifully planted gardens at the new State Capitol and throughout the city establish pleasant and congenial surroundings. The Frankfort Arts Foundation brings nationally recognized talent to Frankfort for musical and theatrical productions. Art galleries show works by the widely known late local painter Paul Sawyier along with shows by other nationally and locally known artists. The Game Farm, established in 1944 by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, is only three miles from downtown Frankfort. In addition to its woods and lakes, which serve as rest and feeding areas for migratory birds, almost all of Kentucky's native animal species are in residence.

Frankfort is a diverse community that offers Kentucky State University students a variety of opportunities for recreation and personal growth. Students can choose to be a part of this community in a variety of ways. It offers access to a rich cultural and historical perspective while providing avenues for involvement in civic and community affairs.

## THE LAND GRANT PROGRAM

Kentucky State University is one of seventeen 1890 Land Grant institutions that are mandated by the Morrill Act of 1890 to conduct research, extension, and teaching in the food and

===== PAGE 25 =====
agricultural sciences. The Kentucky State University (KSU) Land Grant Program works to uphold the mission of the University through its commitment to research, extension, and teaching in the food and agricultural sciences. The KSU Land Grant Program is committed to resolving agricultural, educational, economic, and social problems of the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, especially to serve the underserved in rural and urban settings.

The Land Grant Program at KSU receives a significant portion of its funds from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which provides programmatic oversight, regulation, and guidance. Such USDA Mission Areas as the Cooperative Extension and research are dedicated to assisting stakeholders across the nation and in implementing strategic initiatives of USDA through programs that enable such universities to conduct research, teaching, Extension and outreach.

The Land Grant Program research and Extension activities enable KSU to offer many opportunities for students interested in learning more about a wide range of disciplines, including food and agricultural sciences, environmental science, natural resources, family science, consumer science, rural sociology, and community development. A U.S. Department of Agriculture Liaison Officer is located on the campus to counsel Land Grant administrators and students on national initiatives, and opportunities for partnerships with USDA. This person also works with high school and college students by exposing them to career opportunities in the food and agricultural sciences. College students are eligible for internships while enrolled in undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Additionally, the Liaison Officer promotes and accepts applications for the USDA 1890 Scholars Program, which offers a full scholarship package (tuition and a computer as well as room and board) to high school graduates who are interested in working for USDA after completion of their undergraduate studies.

The Land Grant Program at KSU currently has four programs. The traditional sections are the Community Research Service (CRS) and Cooperative Extension Program (CEP) and the two academic divisions, the Division of Aquaculture and the Division of Agriculture, Food, and Environment.

## COMMUNITY RESEARCH SERVICE (CRS)

The Community Research Service is focused on thrrr main research areas: Aquaculture, Organic and Sustainable Agriculture and Human Health, Nutricution, and Food Safety. The KSU Land Grant Program has nationally and internationally recognized research programs in Aquaculture or fish farming to bring new economic opportunities to Kentucky.

The Aquaculture Program, KSU's "Program of Distinction," is widely recognized as being a Top 5 program in the nation in Aquaculture. The program is a national and international leader in the areas of water quality, disease diagnostics, aquaponics, pond development and management, fish meal replacement research, as well as paddlefish culture, freshwater prawn and saltwater shrimp culture, Koi breeding, production of largemouth bass on-feed, catfish and hybrid striped bass production.

New organic food markets continue to grow and alternative crops and production methods are

===== PAGE 26 =====
desired by farmers. The KSU Land Grant Program's Organic Program is nationally ranked in the top 20 amongst 1890 and 1862 Land Grant Programs. Organic and sustainable agriculture projects include: vegetable and grain production, alternative fruit and nut crops, value-added product development, biofuel feedstock production, ecological entomology, alternative pesticides and water quality, meat goat production, apiculture, soil science, environmental monitoring, and Geographic Information Systems. KSU recently released its first pawpaw fruit variety, KSU-Atwood™. KSU also boasts the largest multi-disciplinary team in organic agriculture in the 1890s Land Grant system.

KSU research has also focused on reducing the health risks with obesity, examining eating habits of children and adults, and examining methods to keep foods safe. The “Shape Up KSU” program is offered for assessing risk factors for metabolic syndrome in African-American young adults. Cutting edge molecular biology techniques are being used to screen produce throughout the growing and shipping process for pathogens. New safe techniques to cleanse fruit, fish, and vegetables of bacteria with electrolyzed water have been developed for value-added processing.

These research programs provide mentoring opportunities for students in degree programs as well as faculty experienced in cutting edge research techniques in areas important to agricultural, aquaculture, food, and environmental sciences. The Atwood Research Facility contains 7,000 square feet of office space and 7,000 square feet of laboratory space, including a molecular genetics laboratory and nutrition laboratory. KSU's Aquaculture Research Center (ARC) includes 33 research ponds, a 3,000-square-foot hatchery that houses spawning, holding, and experimental tanks, and a 4,000-square-foot office/laboratory building includes a state-of-the-art histology laboratory, offices, and conference/classroom space. Augmenting these facilities are KSU's 300 acre Research and Demonstration Farm and its 300 acre Environmental Education and Research Center. The KSU farm has goat, beef, poultry, and fruit and vegetable trials, as well as 11 acres of certified organic land which hosts a range of projects in organic agriculture.

## COOPERATIVE EXTENSION PROGRAM

## EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

The Land Grant Program also offers five summer programs for middle, junior high, and high school students. AgDiscovery (AgD) is a two-week residential program hosted by the Land Grant Program at KSU in collaboration with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), which is an agency under the USDA. AgDiscovery focuses on veterinary sciences and veterinary medicine by exposing middle and junior high school students to a series of hands-on labs, workshops, and fieldtrips that provide real-time experiences in the lives of veterinarians, and animal researchers, and businesses associated with animal processing across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The Summer Transportation Institute (STI) is a partnership between the Land Grant Program at KSU, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KTC) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This three-week residential program for high school students provides experiences that enhance awareness of career opportunities that exist in the transportation industry. Students are exposed to such concentrations as highway designs, transportation of people and cargo, intermodalism, laws, regulations, safety, and environmental concerns.

The KSU Summer Apprenticeship Program (SAP) has a new program that prepares future college students for study in the STEM areas—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The 2015 SAP hosted 30 minority rising juniors interested in STEM careers. The three-week residential program introduced high school students to undergraduate-level STEM programs and helped them gain experience in college-level research. The program was designed to help transition students from high school to college, provide opportunities for STEM-related research experiences, increase interaction with undergraduate students and faculty, and provide exposure to career opportunities in STEM fields.

The Summer Bridge Program Reaching Out—Connecting With High Schools — Career Preparation in Environmental GIS (R.O.C. WiHi). The R.O.C. WiHi—Career Preparation in Environmental Science is a three-week residential Summer Bridge Program in collaboration with 4-H Youth Development in the College of Agriculture, Food Science, and Sustainable Systems at KSU.

## THE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE STUDY OF KENTUCKY AFRICAN AMERICANS

The Center of Excellence for the Study of Kentucky African Americans (CESKAA) was established, in accordance with the University mission, to serve as the primary vehicle for researching, collecting, preserving, and distributing information and materials about Kentucky African Americans and African heritage.

CESKAA exists as a repository and living community of memory to stress the diversity, richness, and complexity of both the University's history and heritage and that of Kentucky African Americans. Its programs of research and service are designed to enhance the liberal studies mission of the University. Through public education, service, and outreach, CESKAA plays an important role for the University, local community, and the state in shaping dialogue

===== PAGE 29 =====
and policy regarding historical, social and heritage preservation projects across the Commonwealth.

CESKAA's African Art Collection, considered one of the best in the region, contains more than 200 artifacts used for the study of social and cultural history of various regions in Africa. Students and scholars across the Commonwealth take advantage of the resource guides to the collections and images of the University's early history on the Kentucky Virtual Library Web site.

The Center is located in historic Jackson Hall, the first permanent building on the KSU campus. It maintains archival resources in Blazer Library and museum quality exhibits in the Jackson Hall Gallery. CESKAA exists so that researchers, scholars, teachers, students, and others interested in African-American history, culture, social institutions, and public policy have a place to come and use materials about African Americans, ranging from agriculture and farm life to African-American heritage sites and urban life.

In the broadest sense, CESKAA exists so that all the people of Kentucky can learn and be informed about the important contributions African-American citizens make to the development of the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world.

===== PAGE 37 =====
LIBERAL STUDIES AND THE UNIVERSITY Kentucky State University is the Commonwealth's unique public liberal studies institution. Liberal studies comprise the traditional subjects of the arts and sciences, such as mathematics, poetry, history, politics, literature, languages, fine arts, philosophy, psychology, chemistry, and economics.

Subject matter alone, however, exhausts neither the meaning of liberal studies nor of a liberal studies education. A liberal studies education and preparation for a career or a profession are obviously not mutually exclusive. Whether one is a pre-engineering or an English major, a pre-medical or pre-law student, a computer science student or someone interested in a career in teacher education or business management, Kentucky State University best serves those students, who, regardless of their long-range goals, seek to think for themselves. Such students are those who wish to think clearly, to argue persuasively, to write with clarity and liveliness, and to gain both a cultural and historical perspective on the human experience as well as an in-depth knowledge in at least one area of human thought. Liberal studies spark curiosity and broaden vision. Liberal studies education provides the tools by which people come to understand the world, one another, and themselves.

In short, liberal studies develop independent and critical thinking. More critical than the development of specialized skills, the development of independent thinking is the foundation for personal growth. The possession of specific skills, however important they may be, is insufficient if one is unable to confront life changes with resourcefulness and clarity of thought. Job skills change with the passing of time and the shifting demands of industry; however, the ability to think for oneself is the governing resource of truly educated individuals.

Education of this sort must be earned, because it comes with persistence and effort. Ultimately, liberal studies requires the courage to follow a question persistently and resourcefully wherever it might lead. At Kentucky State University, education is the daily pursuit of intellectual and moral maturity by students, faculty, and staff.

## EXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

In order to make the goals of liberal studies at Kentucky State University clear and specific, the faculty has adopted a set of four liberal arts learning outcomes. After completing the general education requirements at Kentucky State University, students will be expected to demonstrate:

### 1. Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Physical World

Through study in the sciences and mathematics, social sciences, humanities, histories, languages, and the arts, the KSU student will engage with big questions, both contemporary and enduring, through study of core texts and primary source material.

### 2. Intellectual and Practical Skills

The KSU student will develop multiples literacies and skills, including reading comprehension, inquiry and analysis, critical and creative thinking, written and oral communication, quantitative literacy, information literacy, technological literacy, and teamwork and problem solving. The KSU student will practice these skills extensively,

===== PAGE 38 =====
across the curriculum, in the context of progressively more challenging problems, project, and standards for performance. The student will judge reasonably the validity of information gained through the research process, including use of digital resources.

### 3. Personal and Social Responsibility

The KSU student will obtain including civic knowledge and readiness for engagement—locally and globally---and become actively involved with diverse communities and real-world challenges.

### 4. Integrative and Applied Learning

The KSU student will be able to perform cross-disciplinary synthesis and advance thought across general and specialized studies. The KSU student will demonstrate this learning through the application of knowledge, skills, and responsibilities to new settings and complex problems across disciplines.

## ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Kentucky State University serves many ends and many needs, but the true test of an institution's quality is whether its graduates have learned to think for themselves. St. Augustine paid his education the compliment of saying that, as a result of it, he could read anything that was written, understand anything that he heard, and say anything he thought. There can be no higher praise.

Every baccalaureate degree program at the University is designed to provide students with a sound liberal studies education and the more specialized skills derived from disciplined study of individual subject matter. Together, the University's Liberal Studies Requirements and specific academic degree requirements provide each student with an education worthy of the praise that St. Augustine paid to his own education.

## THE NEW THOROBRED STUDENT ORIENTATION

The overarching goal of the New Thorobred Student Orientation sessions is to ensure that first-time KSU students complete a successful academic and social transition into the Kentucky State University family. All new freshmen and transfer students are required to select and attend the orientation sessions.

The New Thorobred Student Orientation will provide:

• A brief overview of Thorobred campus life and student activities

• Expanded introduction and initial meeting with your academic adviser

• Official registration for the first semester of classes

• Expanded opportunities to meet and work with Financial Aid counselors

• Expanded opportunities to complete and finalize housing and student ID issues with Residence Life

• Expanded opportunity to complete Math and Language placement assessments

===== PAGE 39 =====
## PLACEMENT TESTS

Students admitted to Kentucky State University receive their initial placement in mathematics courses based on ACT/SAT scores. Contact the Division of Mathematics and Sciences for the SAT score placement numbers.

A music placement test is required of all entering music majors.

The University requires a proficiency level in a foreign language equal to that which the student would have achieved after taking two semesters of language at the 101/102 levels. Foreign language proficiency examinations are available to those who seek advanced placement in or exemption from the foreign language requirements. Students who have completed language training at the high school level may satisfy all or part of the foreign language requirement through the Advanced Placement Program (see pages 80-82) or through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) (see pages 82-82). Any entering first year student who has taken a foreign language for three years in high school and passed with a grade of C or better may not enroll in a 101 or 102 level of the same foreign language without taking a Placement Exam to determine level of competency. Such students may choose, however, to take a 101 level of a foreign language other than those studied in high school. Students who have been out of high school at least five years are exempt from this requirement.

## UNIVERSITY ORIENTATION

University Orientation (UNV 101), KSU Orientation (UNV 102), and discipline-specific orientation courses are designed to prepare students for the transition to university academic rigors and university life. They include learning skills to succeed in the academic and social environments at the University.

Students who have transferred more than 30 hours from another institution are exempted from taking any university orientation classes.

Students enrolled in the honors core are required to take HON 103 in lieu of UNV 101 or 102. Students enrolled in the music program are required to take MUS 103 in lieu of UNV 101 or UNV 102.

## UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements. Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses. In addition to the requirements of the student's major field of study, Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of 43-45 semester credit hours of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University. A number of choices are included in the Liberal Studies Requirements, and students are encouraged to consider carefully the alternatives available to them.

The course of studies in the first two years of the Whitney M. Young, Jr., School of Honors and Liberal Studies (48 semester credit hours) provides an alternate way of fulfilling all of the

===== PAGE 40 =====
University's Liberal Studies Requirements. Whitney M. Young School Science majors complete only the seminars and language tutorials; courses from the College of Mathematics, Science, Technology, and Health fulfill the math/science component of the core. (Students who pursue this option must still meet the minimum number of hours required for graduation.) Students transferring in courses as substitutes or equivalents must have the approval of the Office of the Registrar. (Major core transfer courses are approved in the major departments.)

Certain Liberal Studies Requirements may also be fulfilled through the University's testing programs or other testing programs. For a listing of courses and the tests through which semester credit hours may be earned, see the Catalogue section on Credit by Examination/Certification and Credit for Life Experience.

## UNIVERSITY EMAIL ACCOUNTS

All students classified as undergraduates and graduates shall receive university correspondence through their university-assigned email account (e.g.,  Firstname.Lastname@kysu.edu). University Faculty and Staff shall communicate with students by email only through their official university email address. Student email addresses shall be the only email address that will be on file at the University.

Students are encouraged to monitor their KSU email accounts often to ensure that the email account does not exceed the message limit. The University reserves the right to delete student emails should the message limit exceed capacity at any time. All students shall adhere to all policies and procedures set forth by the University Information Technology Department. These policies and procedures may be accessed at www.kysu.edu/administration-governance/information-technology/.

## CLASS SCHEDULING POLICY

Kentucky State University follows a comprehensive plan that governs the offering of courses on a long-term basis. The University's Eight-Semester Schedule of Courses permits students and their advisors to develop an effective plan which identifies when required and elective courses may be taken. In general, all upper-division courses (elective or required), necessary to complete undergraduate degree requirements for a program, shall be offered at least once every two academic years.

## PROJECT GRADUATE

Project Graduate focuses on adults who have earned 90 or more college credit hours. Kentucky State University's Project Graduate Campus Action Plan is designed to provide academically qualified individuals the chance to complete a baccalaureate degree, improve their earning power and contribute more to their community and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. More specifically, the institution collaborates with the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in a systematic effort to identify, recruit, and support students who have left Kentucky State University after completing the majority of work required to attain a baccalaureate degree.

## PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

## COOPERATIVE EDUCATION

Cooperative education at Kentucky State University is an academic program incorporating alternating and parallel periods of employment and classroom study. This educational process is a joint or cooperative effort on the part of the Cooperative Education Office, the faculty instructing the student, and the employer furnishing opportunities for practical applications of the student's class work. Students are limited to a maximum of twelve hours in cooperative education courses for their academic career at KSU.

Cooperative education helps the student bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace, and it allows the student to observe and participate in practical applications of coursework. Cooperative education enables students to be more valuable contributors upon returning to the classroom; they gain self-confidence and become more involved in the educational process. Full-time employment is of significant financial benefit to the student and is valuable in adding to the student's credentials for employment. Upon graduation, the co-op student has a decided edge in competing for professional positions.

The University believes that supervised work experience is worth college credit; therefore, upon successful completion of each semester of work experience, semester credit hours are awarded. Cooperative education courses will not be substituted for mandatory classes in the student's major.

The Cooperative Education Program seeks to meet the needs of students in most academic disciplines offered at Kentucky State University. Therefore, the program is offered to all students after the completion of one full academic year of coursework (30 semester credit hours minimum) unless requested and approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Department Chair, or the major advisor. Participating students are expected to be in good standing with the University and have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Students may earn no more than twelve (12) semester credit hours in Cooperative Education courses (including both associate and baccalaureate degrees) during their tenure at KSU. In order to receive academic credit, a student must register for Cooperative Education courses.

It is recommended that each student take the time to visit the Cooperative Education Office and meet with staff to discuss available opportunities.

## INDEPENDENT STUDY

===== PAGE 42 =====
A student may take a course as an Independent Study if special circumstances warrant. A student with a proven record of academic achievement will be allowed to pursue an Independent Study. Independent Study can also be used only in cases of unavoidable course conflict.

## INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VISAS AND REGULATIONS

## Pre-Arrival: Getting an F-1 Visa

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's bureau that oversees all non-immigrant international visitors to the U.S. International students needing a student visa to study at KSU must apply for an F-1 visa through ICE's Student Exchange Visitor Program's web-based information system (SEVIS). Currently KSU is authorized to issue I-20s, which is the core document that tells a U.S. Embassy or Consular Officer that a person should be issued an F-1 student visa.

International students seeking a degree at KSU, either graduate or undergraduate, must go through the KSU Office of Admissions application process to gain admission and provide the necessary information to secure an F-1 student visa (see Admission of International Students section). Below is an overview of the steps and procedures required for international students, but more complete information is available at the following website: http://www.kysu.edu/academics/globaleducationprograms/iss/iss.htm

1. At the time of applying to the University, in addition to submitting all required admissions application materials, international students are required to also show evidence of the ability to meet their college expenses. KSU must have this information before the Office of Global Education and Programs (OGEP) can issue a Form I-20. Verification of the student's ability to pay is conducted through the Financial Certificate and receipt of original copies of information from the student's family, or student's sponsor's bank. Evidence of any award of a full scholarship or similar financial aid covering tuition, room, and board must also be part of the financial information provided.

2. Once the student has been admitted, demonstrated the ability to pay, and shown that he or she complies with all federal requirements, KSU will send the student, via international courier, an admission packet with the admission letter, information about the university, the Form I-20, and any other relevant documentation.

3. After the student receives the Form I-20, an interview appointment at the closest U.S. Embassy or Consul in his or her country of residence should be arranged. At this appointment the U.S. consular official will either grant or deny an F-1 visa.

## Post-Arrival: Maintaining Status

Once the student has been issued an F-1 visa and arrives on campus, KSU's Office of Global Education and Programs (OGEP) is responsible for ensuring the student remains "in status" according to his or her visa as well as maintaining up-to-date information on the student in the SEVIS database. The next step is:

4. Immediately upon arrival on campus students should report to OGEP. In addition to issuing I-20s, KSU, via OGEP, is required to report the enrollment of F-1 students every semester. Also, OGEP must report in SEVIS current students that fail to enroll,

===== PAGE 43 =====
maintain status, or complete their program. Schools are currently required to monitor records of the student's name, date and place of birth, country of citizenship, address, status, date of commencement of studies, degree program and field of study, practical training, termination date and reason, documents related to the student's admission, the number of credits completed per semester, and a copy of the I-20. All this information resides in the SEVIS database rather than solely as hard files at each school. Under current federal regulations, even minor status violations (e.g., failing to inform ICE of change of major, or failure to process a timely transfer) could result in loss of future employment authorization eligibility, the opportunity to return to the US after a visit abroad, or even possible deportation.

5. The student must check in with OGEP at the beginning of each semester to verify information in SEVIS and verify his or her program of studies timeline.

In order to keep students informed of these important changes, OGEP will conduct occasional information sessions as well as provide up-to-date information concerning the new regulations on the OGEP web page.

## STUDY ABROAD

Kentucky State University offers many opportunities for qualified students to study and earn credits while visiting and living in a foreign country. KSU is affiliated with a number of study abroad providers and consortium organizations, which offer many different options, including full semester or year-long study, summer programs, and a short winter term (December–January). Students can study almost anything they would normally study at KSU. All programs are credit-bearing and normally count towards the student's program of studies.

Participation in a student exchange program is a form of study abroad. In these programs, which usually last for a full semester or year, KSU students trade places with an international student from one of KSU's partner universities. Taking part in an exchange program is intellectually and culturally enriching because students are immersed in local culture, take courses with local students, and study under professors not available to them at their home institution. KSU now has exchange agreements with a number of universities.

Very often, financial aid can be applied to studying abroad. OGEP will help students evaluate their financial need and, in cases where financial aid alone will not suffice, help them identify other sources of funding.

It is not mandatory, but students are highly encouraged to begin making plans in their first year or sophomore year for studying abroad as a junior or senior. Visit the Office of Global Education and Programs.

## STUDENT EXCHANGE

Participation in an exchange program increases a student's access to a variety of educational programs and experiences. Such programs permit students to take courses, meet other students, and study under professors not available to them in their home institution. Taking part in an exchange program can be an intellectually and culturally enriching experience. Students interested in participating in an exchange program should contact the Office of Global Education and Programs.

===== PAGE 49 =====
## Air Force ROTC

Kentucky State University, in cooperation with the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (Air Force ROTC) detachment at the University of Kentucky, offers a two-, three-, or four-year Air Force ROTC program. These programs allow qualified students an opportunity to earn commissions as officers in active duty in the U.S. Air Force while completing the requirement for a degree in their chosen field. The Air Force ROTC courses are offered on the campus of the University of Kentucky.

Students will enroll into the Air Force ROTC courses at KSU but complete course work at the University of Kentucky (UK). There are scholarship opportunities available to qualified students. Three- and four-year scholarships are available. All four-year scholarships activate in the fall of the first year. All three-year scholarships activate in the fall of your sophomore year. The only three-year type of scholarship offered is Type 2. All three-year scholarship designees must complete AFROTC training during their freshman year in order to retain eligibility to activate their scholarships at the start of their sophomore year.

There are three different types of scholarships, and the application process is the same for all of them.

## Type 1

Pays full college tuition, most fees and a book allowance. Approximately five percent of our four-year scholarships are Type 1—mostly in technical fields as deemed needed by the Air Force (careers with a scientific basis such as engineering, chemistry and meteorology).

## Type 2

Pays college tuition and most fees up to $18,000 and a book allowance. Approximately 15 percent of our four-year scholarship winners will be offered a Type 2 scholarship (again, mostly in technical fields). If a student attends an institution where the tuition exceeds $18,000 per year, then he/she pays the difference.

## Type 3

Pays college tuition up to the equivalent of a public school's in-state rate and a book allowance. If a student receives a Type 3 offer but wishes to attend a college/university where they do not qualify under the guidelines, the student can convert the four-year Type 3 scholarship to a three-year Type 2 scholarship. A student cannot activate a Type 3 scholarship at a non-qualifying school and pay the difference.

Upon graduation from KSU and completion of either the two, three, or four-year Air Force ROTC program, students are commissioned as active-duty second lieutenants in the United States Air Force.

Interested students should contact the Office of Military Student Services at 502-597-6795.

Through the Office of Continuing and Distance Education, students may be able to earn college credit for significant professional, artistic, and/or service accomplishments. Past or current experiences can help students earn his/her college degree.

The Credit for Life Experience Program is designed to give students an opportunity to accumulate credit towards a major field of study through the development of a ‘portfolio of accomplishments’ that meet specific course objectives. Students registered for CLE 299 work with an advisor and a team of faculty with expertise who will evaluate the contents of the portfolio in relationship to how effectively they meet a course’s expected outcomes. Based on that evaluation, students may be awarded credit for specific University course(s). All credits earned through the Credit for Life Experience Program may be applied towards the satisfaction of degree requirements.

Kentucky residents, age 65 or older, can be admitted to the University through the Donovan Scholars Program, where all tuition and fees are waived. Donovan Scholars have the choice of being part-time students or pursue a traditional or online degree at all levels.

## Interactive Television (ITV)

Through two-way audio and video facilities, students interact with faculty in real-time from

===== PAGE 54 =====
distance-learning sites throughout Central Kentucky and the Commonwealth. Many interactive classrooms are located throughout the region in high schools, technical schools and colleges, and government offices.

Students see, hear, and talk with professors using microphones and large television monitors connected directly to similarly equipped KSU campus facilities on the fifth floor of our Academic Services Building. Students at distance Kentucky Tele-Linking Network (KTLN) sites ask questions and get answers, see the overhead transparencies and the video selections the same way as students on campus. Students and teachers can exchange handouts and assignments and conduct open discussions with students connected from multiple sites. These interactive television courses are particularly attractive to students who want close interaction with faculty on a regularly scheduled, weekly basis but who are not able to travel a long distance to campus. Credit and non-credit ITV courses streamed through KSU can be offered directly through the University, or another institution within the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

## Internet-Accessed Online Courses

Kentucky State University has several fully accredited online degree programs. The Distance Education program at Kentucky State University provides online degree programs so that students can receive the right skills and knowledge employers are seeking. This delivery option meets the needs of students who cannot attend regularly scheduled and site-defined classes. They are ideal for people who need maximum time and location flexibility, such as: working adult and single parents, state government employees, military personnel and their families, local community and citizens around the nation, and international students across the world.

Upon acceptance to the University, students are enrolled in courses that are created and managed by faculty using an internet-based learning management system. These virtual classrooms are available for study and review whenever and wherever registered students have access to the internet. Students may access these classes wherever computers are available, e.g. at home, at work, or in a public library. They can learn the course materials on a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-per-week basis. In conjunction with traditional and nontraditional textbook materials, online courses provide students with many opportunities. Students can read or hear additional class notes provided by the teacher through an audio lecture format, link to other Web site resources like the Kentucky Virtual Library for research, complete assignments, take tests synchronously, and e-mail questions to teachers and receive answers virtually as well as engage classmates in dialogues through discussion board forums.

Students interested in enrolling in any of the above continuing and distance-education opportunities may access a copy of the current Schedule of Classes to review the course listings. This can be done either by viewing the Schedule of Classes via University website (www.kysu.edu) or by calling the Office of Continuing and Distance Education at (502) 597-5611 to receive the schedule directly.

## ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

At Kentucky State University, academic advising is an intentional educational partnership

===== PAGE 55 =====
between advisors and students. From their first day at Kentucky State University, students are encouraged to take an active part in their learning. The faculty and professional staff assist the members of our diverse student body to make a successful transition to life at Kentucky State University, to plan and take responsibility for their learning, to set achievable academic and personal goals, and to progress successfully to graduation and beyond. Kentucky State University provides a full range of academic advising and personal counseling services to students. Every effort is made to ensure that each student receives personal attention and assistance with his/her matriculation.

Academic advising at Kentucky State University begins with New Student Orientation. Subsequently, students are assigned a general education or a major advisor according to the following criteria:

1. All new degree-seeking students (Associate or Baccalaureate) are assigned an Advisor.

2. Students may stay with their first-year advisors until they declare a major, at which time they are assigned to a Major Advisor. Students majoring in STEM fields and those students in the Honors College are assigned faculty advisors at the beginning of matriculation.

3. Non-degree-seeking students (Visiting/Transient) are advised by the personnel in the Office of Continuing and Distance Education.

Advising Council members are experienced faculty and staff who have demonstrated continuing commitment to the importance of providing students with personal attention and guidance in the planning and pursuit of their academic objectives. Major advisors, just as the general education advisors, provide academic and career advice to each student who has selected a major area of study in preparation for a career of the student's choice. The major advisor serves as a useful source of information regarding such matters as program degree requirements, research opportunities within the field, graduate study, and other career employment opportunities. Early and sustained interaction with advisors is a good beginning to a successful matriculation.

## THE GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER POLICY Implementation Guidelines (Revised Policy Fall 2012)

## INTRODUCTION

The Statewide Transfer Committee and staff of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education performed a review of state policy and implementation guidelines facilitating the transfer of credits between public colleges and universities in the Commonwealth. Through this process a series of recommendations for improvement of the statewide transfer policy and implementation guidelines were developed. The Council of Chief Academic Officers met April 2011 to discuss the policy, and they support these recommendations. Upon approval by the Council on Postsecondary Education (June 2011), the policy will take effect fall semester 2012. The Statewide Transfer Committee and the Statewide General Education Taskforce are charged with the implementation and annual review of the revised policy. The following guidelines reflect approved updates to the General Education Transfer Policy and Implementation Guidelines (2004). The spirit of the original policy – emphasizing the professional integrity of all public institutions in the acceptance of general education coursework between institutions – remains a key element of the revised policy. The updated General Education Transfer Policy and Implementation Guidelines (2012) will be in effect for all students admitted for the fall semester 2012.

The purpose of the Kentucky General Education Transfer Policy is to:

• Emphasize aspects of general education requirements that are common among public institutions in Kentucky and encourages completion of approved AA/AS transfer programs.

• Promote the acceptability of general education credits as students transfer from one public institution to another.

• Enhance cooperation among institutions with respect to academic advising for undergraduates who plan to transfer from one public institution to another.

## BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND PRINCIPLES

1. The transfer of general education credits is predicated on the acquisition of competencies in broad academic areas, rather than on a comparison of individual courses taken at one

===== PAGE 61 =====
institution or another. The issue is not how particular general education courses at the sending institution match up with general education courses at the receiving institution, but how the competencies in various general education programs are similar to one another.

2. Each institution recognizes the professional integrity of all other public institutions in the acceptance of their general education program.

3. Universities will recognize the completion of AA/AS transfer degrees (meeting all required transfer components) by admitting students to junior level standing and accepting the corresponding general education credits as meeting institution-wide lower-division general education requirements at the receiving institution. Students are encouraged to complete an AA/AS prior to transferring.

4. The General Education Transfer Policy applies to students who are accepted for admission into one of Kentucky's public higher education institutions. Students should be aware of the admission requirements of the institution into which they intend to transfer.

5. The General Education Transfer Policy applies to students who transfer from one Kentucky public higher education institution to another Kentucky public higher education institution with the intention of completing their educational program at the receiving institution. Students who intend to transfer credits back to their home (degree-granting) institution may be required to obtain prior written approval from their home institution.

6. The general education requirements covered in this policy are not intended to fulfill general education requirements for particular majors. Requirements of a specific major will not be set aside by this policy. This is a most important distinction and should be noted by students and their advisors.

7. The transfer system at all institutions will include an audit process through which the sending institution will certify to the receiving institution the general education certification levels that have been completed by the student.

8. Close cooperation and communication among colleges and universities is essential for facilitating the transfer process for students and to enable the participating institutions to maintain timely and comprehensive information. Particular attention will be paid to academic advising on each campus and to interaction among campuses in order to inform students about the nuances of general education requirements at the various institutions.

9. Each receiving institution will provide a process for students to appeal decisions related to the transfer of general education credits.

## CERTIFICATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION BLOCKS

There are three levels of general education certification. Each level is based on the number and category of courses taken (see Statewide General Education Core). Students can complete general education courses in categories (also referred to as blocks), as a core component, and as a complete general education program. Each level of certification is

===== PAGE 62 =====
identified below:

1. General Education Category Certified. Students who have completed some but not all of the five categories in the Core Component will be “Category Certified” for purposes of transfer. Individuals in this situation must fulfill all of the remaining general education requirements of the receiving institution that have not been satisfied through “Category” certification.

2. General Education Core Certified. Students who have completed all of the categories – the core component – with a minimum of 30 unduplicated credit hours will be “Core Certified” for purposes of transfer. Individuals in this category must fulfill the remaining general education requirements of the receiving institution that have not been satisfied through the core component.

3. General Education Fully Certified. Students who have completed a general education program, with a minimum of 30 unduplicated semester credit hours or the equivalent (may include a SACSCOC justification for fewer hours) which includes the core component and all additional institutional-specific general education courses, will be “General Education Fully Certified” for purposes of transfer. If the receiving institution’s general education program requires a sum of hours that is less than the total the student has taken at the sending institution, the excess hours will be accepted for transfer by the receiving institution and evaluated for application toward degree requirements. There may be graduation requirements beyond general education requirements that a student will need to complete (e.g., senior year capstone experiences).

## STATEWIDE GENERAL EDUCATION CORE (Effective Fall Semester 2012)

Pursuant to the Southern Association of College and Schools' Commission of Colleges (SACSCOC) Principles of Accreditation Core Requirement, this policy requires a minimum of 30 unduplicated semester credit hours or the equivalent (may include a SACSCOC justification for fewer hours) to meet the general education component of a baccalaureate degree. Student-learning outcomes in each category must be met through courses identified within each category.

Communication: 6-9 hours

Written Communications (WC) and Oral Communications (OC)

Quantitative Reasoning (QR): 3-6 hours

Arts and Humanities (AH): 6-9 hours

Natural Sciences (NS): 3-7 hours

Social and Behavioral Sciences (SB): 6-9 hours

CERTIFICATION LEVELS beginning FALL 2012:

General Education Category Certification: Completed at least one but not ALL of the

===== PAGE 63 =====
categories listed above.

General Education Core Certification: Completed ALL of the categories listed above.

General Education Full Certification: Completed ALL of the categories listed above PLUS any additional general requirement(s) of the sending institution.

## INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY:

## Preparing Students for Transfer

Advising. Advising at both sending and receiving institutions and an inter-institutional network are essential to the successful implementation of this transfer policy. Academic advisors and other institutional staff concerned with transfer should enforce and strengthen, if necessary, policies and procedures, and should establish an inter-institutional communications link (e.g., through a statewide Web presence for easier communication among institutional staff addressing similar issues).

Sending and receiving institutions are to advise transferring students that general education certification does not set aside specific major or programmatic requirements where coursework may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and another specific degree requirement (e.g., a course serves as satisfying both a general education requirement and a supporting course requirement).

Publicity. The general education transfer policy and the courses that meet general education requirements should be easily accessible to students. The transfer policy should be included in each institution's catalog for easy reference. The general education transfer policy and the courses designated for completion of general education requirements will be reviewed annually by a subcommittee of the Statewide Transfer Committee and institutional representatives.

Certification of Transcripts. The sending institution will indicate, either on the transcript or as an attachment to the transcript, whether the student is Fully Certified, Core Certified, or Category Certified in general education courses (e.g., WC, OC, AH, QR, NS, SL, and SB) at their institution. If general education coursework has been earned at more than one public Kentucky institution, the sending institution will conduct a comprehensive review for certification and must include certifications received from previous institutions. Transfer certifications will be processed for all students requesting a transcript to be sent to a Kentucky public postsecondary institution (excluding students requesting transcripts for applications to master's, doctorate, or professional degree programs).

a. If a public sending institution endorses the use of credits earned from a regionally accredited public or independent college or university for satisfying a general education requirement (category, core, fully certified, or coded course), the receiving institution will accept this decision.

b. If a public sending institution endorses the use of credits from a non-regionally accredited institution for satisfying a general education requirement (category, core, fully certified, or coded course), the certifying institution must have a policy stated in the undergraduate catalog regarding the acceptance of coursework in accordance with

===== PAGE 64 =====
SACSCOC standards and a process of assessment to ensure that certified coursework demonstrates that student learning outcomes for the statewide general education category have been met.

c. The sending institution will indicate, either on the transcript or as an attachment to the transcript, whether the student is Fully Certified, Core Certified, Category Certified in general education or if they have completed any of the coded general education courses (e.g., WC, OC, AH, QR, NS, SL, and SB) at their institution.

d. The sending institution will certify courses with satisfactory national examination scores listed in the “Kentucky Standard Acceptable Scores for National Exams” Table.

## Receiving Transfer Students

Transfer Certification. Transfer certification from any KCTCS college or Kentucky public university will be accepted as documented and analyzed according to institutional transfer policies. The receiving institution must review the transcript and notify the student of their remaining requirements within one semester of their admittance. This does not preclude an institution from evaluating the transcript for administrative errors.

a. The receiving institution will accept the coded course (e.g., WC, OC, AH, QR, NS, SL, and SB) as meeting part of the requirement for the general education category associated with the code, unless the course has been determined to be equivalent and has a direct articulation to a course that fulfills a requirement in a different category of general education at the receiving institution. The category of the sending institution will be honored unless it is to the advantage of the student to award a different category.

b. The sending institution will certify courses with satisfactory national exam scores listed in the “Kentucky Standard Acceptable Scores for National Exams” Table.

Applying Credit. The general education transfer component and additional transfer articulations already in place should be supplemented by an institutional commitment that, to the extent possible, the transfer of any remaining credit hours beyond the general education transfer component to the receiving institution will be treated as liberally as possible to maximize the transferability of credit toward meeting the degree requirements.

Transfer Student Grades. Receiving institutions will treat transfer students' grades in the same way they treat native student grades. Specifically, an institution that accepts “D” grades for native students will accept “D” grades for transfer students. While a “D” grade will be accepted as a course transferred, program requirements may prohibit a “D” grade from being accepted toward specific academic program requirements of the receiving institution. The treatment of transfer student grades also applies to students receiving pass/fail grades.

Student Appeals. A student appeals process will be in place on each institution's campus. It will provide for institutional review of transfer decisions governed by institutional policies and the Statewide Transfer Committee. A second state-level review will be available for transfer decisions governed by this committee.

===== PAGE 65 =====
## GENERAL EDUCATION ASSESSMENT

All Kentucky public universities and KCTCS colleges are expected to assess, in accordance with SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation and based upon nationally accepted standards, the student learning outcomes associated with their general education programs, indicate the relationship to the faculty-generated Statewide General Education Student Learning Outcomes, and provide evidence of ongoing assessment that ensures comparability for transfer purposes on a three-year cycle.

## STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCESS TO TRANSFER INFORMATION

Students are encouraged to complete their lower division general education requirements during the first two years of study and to plan their transfer by working with their advisor, reviewing institutional catalogs, and using the Course Applicability System to determine how their coursework will transfer ( www.ky.transfer.org).

The General Education Transfer Policy applies to students who are accepted for admission into one of Kentucky's public higher education institutions. Students planning to transfer should be aware of the admission requirements of the institution into which they intend to transfer. Transfer certifications noted on a student's transcript will only be applicable upon admission into the receiving institution.

Since the provisions of this policy address only institution-wide lower division general education requirements, students are advised to be aware of the general education requirements of the college or school within the university and the general education requirements of the degree program to which they plan to transfer.

## Additional Questions Related to Transfer

## Will information about the completion of transfer credits at one institution be automatically sent to another institution, or must students request this service?

Recent changes to institutional practices include the documentation of transcript certification on ALL transcripts requested by students wishing to transfer to one of Kentucky's public postsecondary institutions. Some institutions have the capability to include general education certification on the transcript by using an automated process. Other institutions do not. Students should confirm with the registrar that a general education audit will be performed via their transcript request.

## Who will receive the documentation certifying general education transfer?

A central office on each campus will receive the transfer information. Normally, the office of admissions would handle this task.

## Does this policy affect general education requirements for specific majors?

No. The General Education Transfer Policy does not add to, subtract from, or change any general education courses required for a major. Students need to work closely with their advisors to determine what relationship, if any, exists between requirements for general education and requirements for a specific major. This is a most important issue and should be carefully noted.

===== PAGE 66 =====
## What appeal do students have in the case of misunderstandings or disagreements?

Each institution has a process for appeals related to the General Education Transfer Policy. Also, each institution will appoint a person to serve as the official institutional liaison with respect to the policy. Students in need of assistance should contact that individual.

## Who are considered transfer students?

Transfer students are those who transfer from one public higher education institution (sending institution) to another public higher education institution (receiving institution) with the intention of completing their educational program at the receiving institution.

## Who are transient (or visiting) students?

Transient students are students in good standing in any recognized institution who enroll in another institution with the intention of transferring the credits earned to their home institution.

## Does the transfer policy allow students to receive duplicate credit by taking courses at one institution and repeating equivalent or similar courses at another institution?

No. The General Education Transfer Policy does not impact the policies of the respective institutions with regard to duplicate course credit. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to make appropriate course selections before and after transferring from one institution to another.

How will college credit earned through high school dual enrollment be evaluated for meeting general education requirements?

Students earning college credit while completing secondary school requirements will have those credits evaluated to determine whether they meet the statewide general education learning outcomes.

## Kentucky General Education Transfer Policy

In an effort to promote a seamless transfer between Kentucky two-year and four-year public institutions, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) developed a policy to facilitate the transfer of credits from one Kentucky public college or university to another. This policy implemented in 1996 and revised in 2011, is called the General Education Transfer Policy and allows for the automatic transfer of a block of courses to satisfy general education degree requirements.

Students who transfer from another Kentucky public college or university may be (1) category certified, (2) core certified, or (3) general education certified by the Registrar of the school where the course work was completed. KSU will honor any of these designations and will apply the transferred general education courses to the student's record at Kentucky State University in a manner that best serves the transferring student.

## Transfer Policy - Undergraduate

- Students transferring to Kentucky State University are required to submit official transcripts from all previously attended institutions as part of the admissions process.

Credits earned at a fully accredited institution may be transferred to KSU and applied toward a degree. A fully accredited institution is one in good standing and a member of one of the six regional academic accrediting associations.

Kentucky State University accepts transfer credits with a grade of "D" or better.

Exceptions to this are transfer equivalents for ENG 101 and ENG 102, which must have arades of "C" or better.

Credits that do not fulfill requirements will be accepted as free electives if grades of "D" or better were earned. If a grade of "D" is transferred and the student attempts to use this course to satisfy the requirements for a major or minor, or an area of specialization, the student will have to take the course at KSU and earn a grade of "C" or better.

KSU will not give upper level credit for a course completed at junior or community colleges without validation that the course is equivalent to upper level university courses with the respective departments reserving final approval.

• Regardless of the number of hours accepted for transfer, all candidates for an undergraduate degree must complete 30 of their last 36 hours toward their degree at Kentucky State University.

## Transfer Policy - Graduate

- Students transferring to Kentucky State University are required to submit official transcripts from all previously attended institutions as part of the admissions process.

Credits earned at a fully accredited institution may be transferred to KSU and applied toward a degree. A fully accredited institution is one in good standing and a member of one of the six regional academic accrediting associations.

- A minimum grade of B is required for a graduate course to be accepted by KSU.

Specific programs may require a higher grade in order for the course to apply toward

===== PAGE 68 =====
degree requirements. Refer to the graduate program of interest to determine the specific requirements for that degree program.

Each program limits the number of credits earned in the non-degree status that will be transferred into the program. Per the Graduate Residency Requirements for Graduation, no program may allow more than one-third of the required credits to be transferred in from another institution.

## UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND POLICIES

Oversight of the Academic Regulations and Policies is given to the Academic Policies Committee of the Faculty Senate. Students are expected to become familiar with these regulations, as they apply to all students enrolled in undergraduate courses at Kentucky State University. The limitations in the definitions may be modified to meet accreditation, licensing, and/or certification requirements.

### I. General Definitions

A. For traditional courses, a semester credit hour represents one clock hour of instruction (or two clock hours of laboratory) per week and two hours of student work per week for a minimum of fifteen weeks (or equivalent). For online classes, each semester credit hour would represent a minimum of three hours of instruction and/or student work per week for a minimum of 15 weeks (or the equivalent) to meet learning outcomes appropriate to the level of the course. Some courses in art, music, physical education, and other areas are calculated according to the accreditation standards in the particular area.

B. Quality points are the assigned points of a specific letter grade. The total quality points of a course are calculated by multiplying the quality point value of the letter grade earned by the number of semester credit hours for the course.

C. The cumulative grade-point average is defined as the total number of quality points earned in all courses taken at Kentucky State University in which the student received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” divided by the total number of semester credit hours in all courses taken at the University in which the student received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F.”

1. If a course is repeated, only the highest grade will be used in the computation of the cumulative grade-point average.

2. Unless specifically described in the course description as a repeatable course, credit may be earned only once for courses that are repeated.

3. All grades earned at Kentucky State University will remain on the student's transcript and in the permanent record, unless the student has successfully petitioned and been granted academic bankruptcy.

D. The current grade-point average is defined as the total number of quality points earned

===== PAGE 69 =====
in all courses in which the student received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” during the last term (summer session/semester) of enrollment divided by the total number of semester credit hours in all courses in which the student received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” during the last term (summer session/semester) of enrollment.

### II. Definitions of Majors, Minors, and Areas of Specialization

The following definitions are to be considered University norms for evaluation and approval of doctoral, master's, baccalaureate, and associate degree programs. The definitions and the limitations that accompany them are based upon the University's policy of emphasizing breadth of study in the basic disciplines with emphasis on the liberal arts in fulfillment of Kentucky State University's mission. Course content shall be appropriate for University-level courses. Departures from these norms must be justified by the nature of the program and must have the recommendation of the Faculty Senate and approval of the Board of Regents.

## Doctoral Degree Program

The University offers a Doctor of Nursing Practice. This professional practice degree is a 72 credit hour program, nine semesters, or three years of study. The program is offered entirely online and includes clinical and residency hours to be completed by students in the region or state in which they reside. Each doctoral degree program requires at least 30 graduate semester credit hours and no more than 45 graduate semester credit hours. The doctoral degree program must be completed within six years of initial enrollment as a degree-seeking graduate student. Some programs require degree completion within fewer years of initial enrollment. Please consult the program descriptions in the graduate program sections.

## Master's Degree Program

A master's degree program is a planned and approved program of study leading to graduation with a master's degree. Each master's degree program requires at least 30 graduate semester credit hours and no more than 45 graduate semester credit hours. The master's degree program must be completed within six years of initial enrollment as a degree-seeking graduate student. Some programs require degree completion within fewer years of initial enrollment. Please consult the program descriptions in the graduate program sections.

## Baccalaureate Degree Programs

A baccalaureate degree program is a planned and approved program of study leading to graduation with a baccalaureate degree. It should be possible to complete a baccalaureate degree program in eight semesters of normal full-time study. The minimum semester credit hour requirement shall be 120, and no program should require more than 144 semesters credit hours. A student may elect to exceed this maximum in meeting personal education objectives.

Each baccalaureate degree program shall include the Liberal Studies Requirements of the University (unless specific courses have been officially substituted or waived) and a major. Minors, areas of specialization, pre-major, prerequisites, and support courses may be

===== PAGE 70 =====
required. Individual students may elect to take a minor or a second major to meet personal education objectives. Unless otherwise specified, any course taken to satisfy a requirement (including electives) for one program may be used to satisfy a requirement for another program. A minimum of 42 semester credit hours in upper-level courses is required for graduation.

## Associate Degree Programs

An associate degree program is a planned and approved program of study leading to graduation with an associate degree. It is possible to complete an associate degree program in four semesters of normal full-time study. The minimum semester credit hour requirement shall be 60, and no program should require more than 76 semester credit hours. A student may elect to exceed this maximum in meeting personal education objectives.

Each associate degree program, except the Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies, shall include required major courses, support courses, and at least 15 semester credit hours of the Liberal Studies Requirements of the University. The liberal studies component shall include courses designed to develop skills in oral and written communication and in computational skills. The liberal studies component shall also include courses drawn from each of the following areas: humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, and natural sciences/mathematics.

## The Major

A major consists of a planned sequence of courses usually within a single discipline; however, a major may consist of a planned group of courses from more than one discipline. The major must constitute at least 25% of the hours required for a baccalaureate degree, which is at least 30 semester credit hours of a 120-hour degree program. At least 18 semester credit hours in the major must be upper-level courses. A student must declare a major either by the end of the sophomore year or the successful completion of 60 semester credit hours before he/she will be permitted to register for classes the semester immediately following.

## The Minor

A minor consists of a planned sequence of courses in a discipline. The minor shall consist of a minimum of 18 semester credit hours and shall not exceed 21 semester credit hours. A minimum of 12 semester credit hours in the minor shall be above the 100 level.

## The Area of Specialization

Some major programs consist of a core program of study within the academic unit as well as required additional study in one or more areas of specialization selected from options within or related to the discipline. The area of specialization shall consist of a minimum of 12 semester credit hours and a maximum of 18 semester credit hours.

## Pre-majors, Prerequisites, and Support Courses

A degree program may identify and require courses as are justified for proper completion of the major. Courses may be from within the discipline (pre-majors or prerequisites) or from

===== PAGE 71 =====
other disciplines (prerequisites or support courses). Such credits thus required are not included in the requirements for the major, the minor and the specialization as stated previously, but are included in the requirements for the total number of semester credit hours for an associate or baccalaureate degree.

## Liberal Studies Requirements

The Liberal Studies Requirements are described elsewhere in this Catalogue, beginning on page 46. These courses, whether unique requirements or optional requirements, may also serve as pre-majors, prerequisites, or support courses, but may not be included in requirements for a major, a minor, or an area of specialization. A student may not take a Liberal Studies Requirement on a pass-fail basis.

## Free Electives

Free electives may be selected by the student from any courses not required in the particular degree program, excluding remedial and non-credit course offerings. Free electives may be used to meet hourly requirements for graduation not specified in those sections of the Catalogue pertaining to the General Education/Liberal Studies Requirements of the student's major or minor.

These definitions may be modified to meet accreditation, licensing, and/or certification requirements.

### III. University Orientation

A. UNV 101 (University Orientation) is a two hour university orientation class. UNV 102 (KSU Orientation) is a one-hour university orientation class.

B. Students who are fully admitted and not required to take UNV 101 will take the one-hour orientation class, UNV 102, or an approved, discipline-specific orientation class.

C. Students who have transferred more than 29 hours from another institution are exempted from taking any university orientation class.

D. Students enrolled in the honors core are required to take HON 103 in lieu of UNV 101 or 102. Students enrolled in the music program are required to take MUS 103 in lieu of UNV 101 or UNV 102.

### V. Residency Requirements for Graduation

A. A minimum of 25% of all required semester hours for degree completion must be earned at Kentucky State University.

B. At least one-half of a student's major field academic requirements must be earned at Kentucky State University.

C. In order to receive an associate or a baccalaureate degree from Kentucky State University, a student must complete at least 30 of the last 36 semester credit hours, or 12 of the last 15 semester credit hours, respectively, at the University. Courses taken under the Study Abroad program, National Exchange Student program, or as online courses (and for which students pay their tuition to Kentucky State University) are considered as courses taken at the University for purposes of the residency requirement. Any credit hours taken outside of the University must be taken from another regionally accredited post-secondary institution in accordance with regulation XXVI.K.

### VI. Graduation Honors

Graduation honors are awarded only to baccalaureate degree students who have earned at least 60 semester credit hours at Kentucky State University. Students who maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.8 and who have received no grades of “D” or “F” in any attempt at a course are awarded the baccalaureate degree summa cum laude. Students who maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 and who have received no grades of “D” or “F” in any attempt at a course are awarded the baccalaureate degree magna cum laude. Students who maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.2 or have maintained a GPA of 3.5 or higher but have received a “D” or “F” in any attempt of a course are awarded the baccalaureate degree cum laude.

The baccalaureate degree or the associate degree with departmental honors will be conferred upon the student who, in addition to having completed the requirements for the degree, shall have maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and a GPA of at least 3.3 in courses required for the major. In computing academic major grade-point averages, all courses taken in a major will be counted. To be considered for academic program honors, one or two years of residence work at Kentucky State University are required of associate or baccalaureate degree recipients, respectively, with at least half of the major courses

===== PAGE 73 =====
taken at the University.

### VII. Academic Load

B. An undergraduate student must carry 12 or more semester hours to be full time, 9–11 semester credit hours to be three-quarters time, 6–8 semester credit hours to be half time, and 1–5 semester credit hours to be part time or less than half time.

C. In order for an undergraduate student to pursue 19 or more credit hours per semester, one of the following conditions must be met:

1. The student must have the written approval of his/her advisor and the academic unit head; or

2. The student's cumulative grade-point average is 3.2 or better.

D. An undergraduate student may pursue a maximum of 21 semester credit hours during the fall or spring semester of the academic year for which he/she is a candidate for graduation.

E. An undergraduate student may pursue a maximum of 10 semester credit hours during the summer session.

### VIII. Double/Multiple Majors

A student wishing to pursue a double major must declare the first and second majors to the Registrar. A student will have earned a double major after he or she has completed all the requirements for the first and second majors and after completing a minimum of 120 semester credit hours. Unless otherwise specified, any course taken to satisfy a requirement (including electives) for one major may be used to satisfy a requirement for another major. The student who completes all the requirements for both majors receives a degree appropriate to the first major (either a B.A. or a B.S.) with a notation of the second major. The baccalaureate degree may be awarded for multiple majors and minors, provided the requirements for all majors and minors are met. The associate degree may be awarded for one or more majors, provided the requirements for all majors are met. A double major does not necessarily result in an additional degree.

### IX. Concurrent Degrees

A student may pursue two degrees of the same level in a given matriculation period, e.g., two baccalaureate degrees, two associate degrees, or two graduate degrees, when minimum graduation requirements are met with additional coursework for the appropriate degree level. A student may not pursue mixed levels of degrees simultaneously.

(Students having earned one degree at any level may subsequently pursue another, either associate or baccalaureate. (See Subsequent Degrees, Section X.) Students must complete all of the requirements in effect at the time the student declares the major in each degree program. While some of the hours earned from one degree may count toward another degree, students must earn at least 15 additional approved semester hours for another associate degree or 30 additional hours for another baccalaureate degree. This translates to a minimum of 75 hours for two associate's degrees and a minimum of 150 hours for two baccalaureate degrees.

===== PAGE 74 =====
### X. Subsequent Degrees

Students having earned one degree may subsequently pursue another, either associate or baccalaureate, by completing all of the requirements in effect at the time the student declares the major for the subsequent degree. While some of the hours earned from the earlier degree may count toward the subsequent degree, students must earn at least 15 additional approved semester hours for an associate degree or 30 additional semester hours for the baccalaureate degree (see Section II).

### XI. Classification of Students

Students shall be classified as indicated below upon successful completion of the specified number of semester credit hours, provided that all entrance requirements have been met.

Freshman 0–29 semester credit hours

Sophomore 30–59 semester credit hours

Junior 60–89 semester credit hours

Senior 90 or more semester credit hours

### XII. Course Numbering System

This system is to be used to ensure consistency in the numbering of courses, and should be used by advisors and students when making class schedules.

001–099 designed for college preparatory and remedial courses; does not count toward any degree requirements

100–199 designed for freshman students but may be taken by more advanced students; does not carry graduate credit

200–299 designed for sophomore students but may be taken by any student who satisfies the prerequisites or obtains the consent of the instructor; does not carry graduate credit

300–399 designed for junior students but may be taken by any student who satisfies the prerequisites or obtains the consent of the instructor; does not carry graduate credit

400-499 designed for senior students but may be taken by any student who satisfies the prerequisites or obtains the consent of the instructor; does not carry graduate credit

500–599 open to graduate students only

600–699 open to graduate students only; should be used for seminar and independent study

700–799 open to graduate students only; thesis and research (professional) projects

### XIII. Grading System

Information regarding grading policies is available from the Office of Academic Affairs and in the course syllabus for each course. All policies established by academic units and/or by course instructors must be in compliance with policies outlined below:

A. A course instructor will issue a final grade at the conclusion of the course for each student officially registered for the course. The course instructor remains the sole person responsible for issuing a final course grade, except as provided in sub-section B below, and in Section XXII.F.

B. In the event an instructor becomes incapacitated or otherwise is unable to issue

===== PAGE 75 =====
course grades, the academic unit administrator will be responsible for issuing final course grades.

C. Only final grades specified in sub-section E below may be issued.

D. Instructors are to report final grades to the Office of the Registrar in accordance with the procedures and deadlines required by the University. Only the Office of the Registrar has authority to issue official final grades.

E. The following system of symbols will be used in grading students:

1. A excellent; four quality points per semester credit hour

2. B good; three quality points per semester credit hour

3. C satisfactory; two quality points per semester credit hour

4. D poor; one quality point per semester credit hour

5. F failure; zero quality points, zero credit

6. P pass, proficient; not included in grade-point average (see Section XIII.F below)

7. I incomplete; not included in grade-point average (see Section XIII.I below)

8. W withdrawal, which can only be entered for students who withdraw prior to the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, or before two-thirds of the instructional days of the summer session; not included in grade-point average

9. AU audit; not included in grade-point average (see Section XIII.G)

### F. Pass-Fail (P/F)

1. Grading on a pass-fail basis is available only in the following situations: cooperative education course credit and credit for courses by special examination and/or certification, as described in the Catalogue section entitled "Credit by Examination/Certification and Credit for Life Experience."

2. A grade of “P” (pass/ proficient) will be given to indicate satisfactory completion of the examinations and/or experiences eligible for pass/fail credit. A grade of “F” (fail, not proficient) will be given to indicate unsatisfactory completion of the examinations and/ or experiences eligible for pass-fail credit. When a grade of “P” is earned through satisfactory completion of the examinations and/or experiences eligible for pass-fail credit, the grade of “P” is equivalent to the minimum grade of “C” or above as required elsewhere in these Academic Policies and Regulations.

3. A student may challenge up to six (6) semester credit hours in the Liberal Studies Requirements, the major, minor, or area of specialization on a pass-fail basis if these courses are approved for challenge. Furthermore, a student may earn up to one-fourth the minimum number of semester credit hours for completion of a baccalaureate degree or an associate degree through any combination of credit by examination/certification and credit for life experience.

4. Regulation XIII.F.3 does not apply to cooperative education courses.

### G. Audit

The grading option of audit must be selected no later than the end of late registration and must be indicated on either the student's registration or add/drop form. Audited courses do not count toward the total number of hours nor in computing a GPA.

### H. Repeat Option

An undergraduate student has the option to repeat any completed course. Only the highest grade will be used in computing the student's academic standing and credit for graduation. The original grades for all repeated classes will remain on the transcript with the notation "excluded from GPA." A student may repeat a given course a

===== PAGE 76 =====
maximum of two times. A student may not use the repeat option when retaking a course on a Pass-Fail basis if the course was originally taken for a letter grade. The repeat option only applies to an  identical course (including a cross-listed course) and not a course substitute.

### 1. Incomplete

1. A grade of “I” is to be assigned only for an unforeseen and extraordinary circumstance or situation which would have prohibited a student from completing a minor part of a course requirement, such as the final exam, one major exam, completion of a term paper or class project, or part of the requirements of a laboratory, and the student has made a request to the instructor prior to the end of the term.

2. A grade of “I” may not be assigned as a substitute for a “D” or an “F.”

3. An Incomplete earned in any given term (summer session/semester) must be removed by the end of the eighth week of classes during the next regular academic semester; otherwise, the “I” will be changed to the grade the student would have received by calculating the uncompleted minor requirement as a zero.

4. To initiate consideration for an “I” grade, the student must file a Request for Incomplete Grade Form with his or her instructor prior to the end of the course. An instructor may complete the Request for Incomplete Grade Form on the student’s behalf if the student is prevented from filing the request due to medical emergency or other similarly unusual circumstances.

5. When a grade of “I” is assigned, the instructor shall complete the Request for Incomplete Grade Form received from the student. On that form, the instructor shall provide a detailed description of the work to be completed by the student. The instructor will also provide the grade that the student will receive should the work not be completed by the deadline in XIII.1.3 above. The instructor shall provide a copy of the completed Request for Incomplete Grade Form to the student and to the chair/dean. The chair/dean will retain a copy of this document in the unit file. The completed Request for Incomplete Grade Form will accompany the Grade Change Form upon completion of the minor requirement that necessitated the “I” grade.

6. In the event that the instructor who assigned the “I” grade is no longer with the University, the chair of the academic area where the “I” grade was assigned, or his or her designee, will work with the student to complete the minor requirement that necessitated the “I” grade.

### J. Time Limitations for Grade Changes

All grade changes must be processed within one semester from the time the original grade was recorded. These grade changes will be permitted only when there was an error in recording or calculating the grade.

K. Appealing a Course Grade (see Section XXII.F.).

### XIV. Academic Honors

The University encourages high standards of academic excellence and acknowledges students' academic achievement. An Academic Honor Roll and Dean's List are published at the end of each academic semester. A student who earns 12 or more semester credit hours for which quality points are awarded and whose grade-point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Dean's List.

===== PAGE 77 =====
Part-time (at least one-half time) students are given special recognition for academic achievement. Students enrolled in 6 to 11 semester credit hours in which quality points are earned and whose grade-point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Academic Honor Roll.

### XV. Withdrawal from a Course

A. On the 13th day of classes, the Office of the Registrar will distribute class rosters to the faculty. Instructors will then verify the names of students who have attended at least one class meeting. Students who have never attended a class meeting will be administratively withdrawn and have all applicable charges reversed. Students who have attended at least one class meeting but have stopped attending are subject to the attendance policies enumerated in the Class Attendance section (XIX). This policy does not apply to the summer session.

B. If a student withdraws from a course before the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript.

C. If a student withdraws from a course before two-thirds of the instructional days have elapsed during a summer session or short course, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript.

D. A student who fails to follow proper University withdrawal procedures will receive a grade of “F” in that course.

Students may appeal for retroactive withdrawal from a course under specified circumstances (see Section XXII.G.).

### XVI. Withdrawal from the University

A. A student who has selected courses but has decided not to complete registration (i.e., pay or arrange to pay tuition and fees) should notify the Office of the Registrar in writing prior to the end of late registration of his/her intention not to enroll.

B. In order to withdraw from the University after completion of registration (i.e., dropping all courses for a given semester/session), a student must do the following:

1. Obtain the necessary form from the Office of the Registrar.

2. Complete the form and obtain the necessary signatures.

3. Return the completed form to the Office of the Registrar.

C. Failure to withdraw will obligate the student to pay all tuition, fees, and other charges assessed, and will result in failing grades for that term (summer session/semester).

D. If a student withdraws from the University before the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript for all courses pursued that semester.

E. If a student withdraws from the University before two-thirds of the instructional days have elapsed during a summer session or short course, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript for all courses pursued that session.

F. Students may appeal for retroactive withdrawal from the University under specified circumstances (see Section XXII.G).

### XVII. Registration

A. A degree-seeking student MUST consult with his/her designated advisor prior to the time of preregistration or regular registration to receive official approval for his/her plan

===== PAGE 78 =====
of study during each academic term (summer session/semester). (NOTE: First-time, first year students may be limited in the courses for which they can register.

B. The Office of the Registrar sets the time of registration for all students and informs them of the times they are to register.

C. Students are expected to register at the appointed time.

D. Students may not register for credit after the deadline set for completion of late registration.

E. A late registration fee is assessed to students who do not register at the appointed time.

F. Late registration for semesters will end one calendar week after the last day of registration or its equivalent for summer session (see Academic Calendar for specifics).

G. A student must repeat any course in which he/she received an inadequate grade (as described in Section IV) during the next semester in which the student is enrolled and in which the course is offered. Students will be prohibited from registering for the next term until this requirement is satisfied.

### XVIII. Changes in Registration

(Adding a course, dropping a course, changing sections, changing grading options.)

(Adding a course, dropping a course, changing sections, changing grading options.)

A. All changes in registration must be approved by the Office of the Registrar and the designated advisor (and the instructor in case of a closed class).

B. Any student properly registered for a course will receive credit for that course.

C. A processing fee is assessed beginning the first day of classes of a term (summer session/semester) for any change in registration, with the exception of those caused by University cancellation of courses or other University-initiated adjustments to course schedules.

D. See Section XV for regulations on withdrawal from a course.

E. The chairperson and/or dean will inform the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Office of the Registrar, and the instructors of all course cancellations no later than two (2) working days after the end of late registration.

F. When a course is canceled, any student enrolled in that course may change his/her final registration in order to replace the canceled course. Such adjustment must be completed no later than Saturday of the second full week of classes during an academic semester or no later than Saturday of the first full week of classes during a summer session.

XIX. Class Attendance – Class attendance is mandatory for all enrolled students. Class attendance is linked to a variety of daily classroom assignments, and these assignments require students' preparation and participation in order for students to be successful. A record of the students' attendance is required by all instructors beginning on the first day the class meets. Faculty are required to take attendance until the final examination date. Students absent from class due to official university business, or other reasons considered excusable, are responsible for making up and submitting work to their instructors within seven (7) business days of the absence.

Excused absences, university-sponsored and personal, include the following: documented required military service; documented university service on campus or off-campus representation of the University; documented research, presentation, or field trip; documented interview for professional/ academic advancement, and documented jury duty.

===== PAGE 79 =====
Personal excused absences include the following: documented illness from a doctor or practicing medical professional in the area of the student's illness, who attended to the student; documented serious illness or death of an immediate family member (mother, father, spouse, child, sibling, grandparent, or (former) legal guardian, and documented court appearance.

Absence(s) planned from class(es) because of university-sponsored activities must be reported to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs two (2) weeks prior to the date of the absence. The Vice President for Student Affairs will inform faculty members BEFORE the student's absence from class(es) in these cases. Service-related absences do not reduce the number for Non-Service related excused absences allowed to a student.

All other documented absences must be submitted to and bear the signature of the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs within seven (7) business days of the absence(s).

A student who stops attending a class for any reason must contact the instructor and the Office of the Registrar to withdraw officially from the course. This action must be done on or before the published withdrawal date on the official Academic Calendar for that semester. If a student fails to withdraw from a class, the lack of action will result in a failing grade for the course.

Late registration beyond the University's add/drop date must be approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the University Registrar, and the class instructor. Under these circumstances, no excused or unexcused absences will be accrued until the date of the students first official course enrollment. All make-up assignments must be completed within a time period determined by the instructor.

In addition to regular attendance, timely attendance is required for each student enrolled in Kentucky State University in order for students to take full advantage of class participation. A student is tardy when he/she:

(a) Reports to class after the published start time of a class.

(b) Exits the class prior to the end of the class without the instructor's approval.

Three violations of the tardiness will constitute an unexcused absence.

All faculty, staff, and students are required to follow the policies outlined in this Catalogue.

A student who has not attended a face-to-face class by the end of the first two weeks of the course will be dropped from the class administratively for financial aid purposes. The same holds true for an online student who has not signed and returned the course agreement attached to the syllabus within the first two weeks of class.

A student enrolled in a face-to-face course or hybrid course who accrues a number of unexcused absences which exceeds the number of class meetings in one week shall be reported to the Center for Academic Persistence (CAPS). The CAPS staff will confirm the student's attendance record in the class with the instructor before withdrawing the student from the course. This action excludes official excuses as verified by the Office of Student Affairs.

===== PAGE 80 =====
A student enrolled in a 100% online or hybrid course is required to complete the online course assessment successfully and engage in the process as described in the course syllabus.

An instructor whose student does not meet the conditions stipulated in this policy must report the absent student to the Center for Academic Persistence Services (CAPS) to be withdrawn from the class.

The CAPS staff will be responsible for providing student intervention and support, and is available as a resource to student to encourage class preparation and participation. CAPS will deliver a Persistence Assessment report to instructors within 24 hours of notice for each student reported to CAPS office for attendance problems.

All faculty must include an attendance policy in the syllabus of the course they teach and provide such syllabus to the student on the first day of class. Faculty should encourage students to prepare and participate in class activities and students should make sure they understand how attendance and absenteeism affect the level of their preparation and participation, and ultimately their performance in the course.

### XX. Academic Honesty

A. The University expects that students will conduct themselves with honesty and integrity.

B. Academic Offenses

1. Cheating: Cheating is defined as the fraudulent or deceptive taking, giving, or presenting of any information or material with the intent of aiding oneself or another on any academic work which is considered in any way in the determination of a course grade.

2. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional act of submitting the work of another as one's own. It includes the submission of the complete or partial work, or of the words, ideas, or format of another, published or unpublished, without appropriate reference and source credit. It includes employing or permitting another person to produce, alter, or revise material which the student submits as his or her own. If the student has any uncertainty regarding plagiarism in the submission of any material to his or her instructor, he or she should discuss the matter with the instructor prior to submission of the material.

3. Forgery: Forgery is falsely recording the signature of an advisor, instructor, or any university official on any official University academic document.

If the student is unavailable or fails to attend such a conference, the instructor shall proceed to inform the student of the nature of the evidence, the charges and the possible sanctions by certified mail, with copies to the Chairperson of the Department in which the student is enrolled. The instructor may then proceed to assign any grade on a paper or examination related to the offense, assign any grade for the course in which the offense occurred, or recommend to his or her Chairperson a more severe sanction.

### 2. Responsibility of the Chairperson

After reviewing the report from the instructor and making any appropriate investigation, the Chairperson will forward the materials, along with his or her own recommendation, to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

## CREDIT BY EXAMINATION/CERTIFICATION AND CREDIT FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE

Up to one-fourth the minimum number of semester credit hours required for completion of a baccalaureate degree or an associate degree at Kentucky State University may be earned through any combination of credit by examination/certification and credit for life experience. Credit by examination may be earned through Academic Unit Challenge Examinations and by satisfactory performance on College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, the Proficiency Examination Program, and the Advanced Placement Program examinations. Satisfactory performance on the latter three shall be based upon the score established by the appropriate University official. Credit (not a letter grade) shall be entered on the student's record by the Office of the Registrar. More information is available at the Office of the University Registrar.

Challenge examination grades will be reported on the official Grade Roster at the conclusion of the semester/session.

If the student fails the challenge examination, then he/she may either attend the class as scheduled or withdraw from the course. If the student chooses to withdraw from the course, then the University's existing withdrawal policies apply. A student may not take a challenge

===== PAGE 89 =====
examination for classes previously failed.

A student may challenge a course only one time, and no challenge examination will be administered for courses for which CLEP examinations are available.

## CREDIT FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE (CLE)

The “Credit for Life Experience” program is a Kentucky State University option which affords an adult student, who has significant learning generated by life experiences, the opportunity to document this learning for possible academic credit. To be eligible for the program, a student must:

===== PAGE 90 =====
1. Enroll in CLE 299 (Portfolio Development) for 3 credits with the written approval of the CLE instructor in the Office of Continuing and Distance Education;

2. Be an associate or baccalaureate degree-seeking student and have completed ENG 101 (English Composition I), or its equivalent at another institution; and

3. Have significant life experience that is equivalent to selected and approved coursework offered by the University. A student is eligible to take CLE 299 and complete the assessment process only once in each five-year period.

The successful completion of CLE 299 results in the development of a portfolio that documents the student's learning through life experience and becomes the basis for the formal request for academic credit. Academic credit through assessment is granted only for related courses taught by the University's faculty as part of the degree programs of Kentucky State University. Academic credit is not available for any course that state or accrediting agency policy does not allow to be granted by assessment. The portfolio can be assessed only after the student has been billed for and has paid a non-refundable fee equal to one-third the prevailing tuition rate per semester credit hour for the sum of all credits requested through the portfolio. This fee is applied in addition to the tuition cost for enrolling in the CLE 299 Portfolio Development course.

A student may earn up to one-fourth the minimum number of semester credit hours required for completion of an associate or a baccalaureate degree under the Credit for Life Experience option provided that no other credit by examination/certification has been earned (including CLEP and Challenge Examinations). A student who intends first to complete an associate degree program and then work toward a baccalaureate degree may “bank” credits above one-fourth the minimum number of semester credit hours, which would then become applicable toward a baccalaureate degree. The payment will amount to one-third of the appropriate prevailing tuition rate.

The Credit for Life Experience program is administered by the Office of Continuing and Distance Education.

## ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is offered in participating high schools across the country. High school students should consult with their guidance counselor or principal regarding the availability of AP courses in their school, how to register for them, and AP testing schedules and fees. Currently, Kentucky State University awards semester credit hours for those AP examinations that have equivalent courses offered by KSU. (Some examinations provide credit for two courses.) Code 1368 should be used by the examinee to have the University designated as an AP examination score recipient.

Following are the University courses for which Advanced Placement Program credit is given, plus the appropriate AP examination for each and the minimum score required to receive University credit:

## COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of standardized examinations recognized by many colleges and universities. Successful completion of these examinations enables students to receive credit for courses for which they have gained commensurate knowledge through reading and other experiences. Currently, Kentucky State University awards semester credit hours for 21 University courses through CLEP examinations.

The CLEP examinations are given at the University by appointment. Students should take the appropriate CLEP examination the semester before the one in which they would otherwise take the corresponding Kentucky State University course. If unsuccessful on the CLEP examination, students can register for the course during the next semester. Registration for CLEP examinations should be completed at www.clep.collegeboard.org. More information is available at the University's Office of Testing.

The University courses for which CLEP credit is given, as well as the appropriate CLEP examination for each minimum score required to receive University credit, are the following:

## PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION PROGRAMS

Nursing: Kentucky State University's Department of Nursing offers Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's) the opportunity to be exempted from taking NUR 101 (Nursing I) by successfully completing the ACT-PEP Fundamentals of Nursing Examination and a nursing skills test administered by the Department of Nursing. A minimum of 50 is required on the ACT-PEP, and a satisfactory performance is required on the nursing skills test. Code 1516 must be used to designate Kentucky State University as a score recipient. Interested students should contact the chairperson of the Department of Nursing.

Foreign Languages: The area of Modern Foreign Languages offers proficiency examinations for students with prior experience in French, Italian, and Spanish. Students who demonstrate competency in a foreign language by making the necessary score on a proficiency examination may qualify for a 102-level foreign language course (or above) depending upon their score. Students demonstrating competency above the 102 level are considered to have fulfilled the foreign language requirement of the University's Liberal Studies Requirements. However, students demonstrating foreign language competency through a proficiency examination will not receive academic credit. Foreign language proficiency examinations may not be repeated.

## ARMED SERVICE CERTIFICATION CREDIT

Armed service school courses taken by armed service personnel will be granted credit as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services. Certificates of completion of such courses must be presented for the awarding of credit. Interested students should see the VA Specialist in the Office of the Registrar for assistance.

## VOCATIONAL SCHOOL ARTICULATION AGREEMENT

Kentucky State University, through an articulation agreement with regional post-secondary vocational and technical schools, awards semester credit hours to applicants who continue their technical field of study in Nursing at the University. Inquiries relating to this agreement should be directed to the College of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Health.

## TESTING SERVICE

The University's Office of Testing is responsible for the administration, scoring, reporting, and record keeping for a number of nation-wide standardized testing programs and services, as

===== PAGE 95 =====
well as for specialized institutional testing programs and services. The specific tests and programs may vary as the University's programs change, but they currently include the following:

1. The American College Testing (ACT) Program (the preferred entrance test for Kentucky State University). A score of 21 or above is required for all applicants to the Nursing program and Education program;

2. Rising Junior Assessment—required of all university students seeking a baccalaureate degree. Assessment is scheduled after the student has earned 60 semester hours. The student must pass all sections of the Assessment by the time he/she has earned 96 credit hours. This is a comprehensive exam required of all students to assess general education competency;

3. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) (a procedure for receiving college credit for specific courses by passing the computer-based national examination);

4. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I & II) (required by some colleges or universities for entrance and may be used as an alternate test for admission to Kentucky State University in certain cases);

5. Correspondence examinations (The Office of Testing will proctor examinations for persons taking courses from other universities or correspondence courses);

6. Advanced Placement (AP) (credit awarded to participating high school students);

7. Miller Analogies Test (MAT) (required by some colleges or universities for entrance to graduate school. May be used also as an alternate test for admissions to some colleges or universities);

8. Professional Assessment for Beginning Teachers (PRAXIS) (required for students seeking Teacher Certification).

In addition, the Office of Testing has the official registration forms and information for other testing programs, such as the American College Testing (ACT), Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and the Test of Spoken English (TSE), and Miller Analogies Test (MAT). The Office of Testing also receives test scores from other programs, such as the Advanced Placement Program, and distributes these scores to the proper academic units. Moreover, the Office of Testing offers consultation services to students, faculty, staff, and administrators on a variety of test-related topics including test preparation, test-taking skills, and test usage and interpretation.

Students planning to take any of the above tests should keep in mind that most tests are given only a few times a year on specific dates. The date selected should provide time for the scores to be received by the institution by the announced deadline. Ordinarily it takes four to six weeks after the test for the results to be available. Most tests require registration about one month in advance of the actual test date.

Complete details on the above testing services and programs, including test/registration deadlines and fees, are available from the Office of Testing. Information on the ACT, Advanced Placement Program, and SAT is also available from high school counselors or principals and online on KSU's web page (Placement Testing).

## STUDENT EXPENSES

Expenses associated with attending Kentucky State University are kept as low as possible to help ensure access to the University's programs. Tuition and Fees for the 2015-2016 academic year can be found on the tuition and fees schedule (under Tuition and Fees).

## FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Kentucky State University acknowledges that many students require some form of financial assistance to support their education. KSU provides a wide range of resources through scholarships, grants, college work-study, and low-interest loans. Information about Kentucky State financial assistance programs can be found in the Financial Aid and Scholarships section of the Catalog.

## FOREIGN CURRENCY

All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.

## ONLINE COURSES

Online tuition and fees can be found in the tuition and fee schedule. All fees are subject to change without notice.

A full-time student who supplements traditional courses (on campus or in class lecture) with online courses shall be charged based on the normal full-time tuition and fee schedule and residency.

A student who is registered for 12 or more hours online exclusively will be classified as a full-time student and shall be charged based on the normal tuition and fee schedule and residency.

## TUITION AND FEE REFUND POLICY

Students withdrawing from the University or dropping semester credit hours which result in a change in the assessment of fees will be eligible for a refund of fees based on the dates and conditions listed hereafter. No refund can be made on certain fees and optional fees as established by the Kentucky State University Board of Regents. The date of completion of the withdrawal or credit hour drop determines the percent of refund for which the student is eligible. A withdrawal/drop is complete when the necessary form(s) have been completed and returned to the designated office.

## TIME PERIOD/REFUNDS

For purposes of calculating refunds, "weeks" are counted as seven-day periods beginning with the first day of classes for the semester. Refunds will be issued on canceled classes and early withdrawals in accordance with the institutional refund policy. Refunds issued from Title IV funds will be issued within fourteen days from the date funds are applied to the student's account resulting in a credit balance. Funds are usually applied after the 12th day of classes. Questions concerning refunds should be directed to the Bursar's Office (ASB, Suite 349).

Students who receive Title IV funds such as the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental

===== PAGE 99 =====
Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct or PLUS loans and withdraws from the University is subject to the Return of Title IV Funds regulations. Students with funds from any of these programs "earn" their financial aid dollars while enrolled. If a student withdraws prior to completing 60% of a term (Fall Semester on or after October 30 and Spring Semester on or after March 25), a prorated portion of his/her federal financial aid dollars must be considered "unearned" and returned to the federal programs. Unearned financial aid dollars returned to the federal programs could cause students to owe the University a significant amount upon withdrawal. Failure to return aid due back to their federal programs will result in loss of eligibility for federal financial aid assistance.

## TITLE IV FINANCIAL AID

Federal funds returned are distributed to the programs as follows:

Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans

Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans

Federal Direct PLUS Loans

Federal Perkins Loans

Federal Pell Grants

Federal Supplemental Educational

Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

Other Student Financial Aid Programs

Other federal, state, private, or institutional sources of aid

10. An institution shall impose a penalty or sanction against a student who gives incorrect or misleading information to an institutional official, including payment of nonresident tuition for each academic term for which resident tuition was assessed based on an improper determination of residency status.

### Section 5. Determination of Whether a Student is Dependent or Independent

1. In a determination of residency status, an institution shall first determine whether a student is dependent or independent. This provision is predicated on the assumption that a dependent person lacks the financial ability to live independently of the person upon whom the student is dependent and therefore lacks the ability to form the requisite intent to establish domicile. A determination that a student is independent shall be one (1) step in the overall determination of whether a student is or is not a resident of Kentucky.

2. In determining the dependent or independent status of a person, the following information shall be considered as well as other relevant information available at the time the determination is made:

a. Whether the person has been claimed as a dependent on the federal or state tax returns of a parent or other person for the year preceding the date of application for a determination of residency status; or

b. Whether the person is no longer claimed by a parent or other person as a dependent or as an exemption for federal and state tax purposes; and

c. Whether the person has financial earnings and resources independent of a person other than an independent spouse necessary to provide for the person's own sustenance.

3. An individual who enrolls at an institution immediately following graduation from high school and remains enrolled shall be presumed to be a dependent person unless the contrary is evident from the information submitted.

5. Marriage to an independent person domiciled in and who is a resident of Kentucky shall be a factor considered by an institution in determining whether a student is dependent or independent.

6. Financial assistance from or a loan made by a parent or family member other than an independent spouse, if used for sustenance of the student:

a. Shall not be considered in establishing a student as independent; and

b. Shall be a factor in establishing that a student is dependent.

### Section 6. Effect of a Determination of Dependent Status on a Determination of Residency Status

1. The effect of a determination that a person is dependent shall be:

a. The domicile and residency of a dependent person shall be the same as either

parent. The domicile and residency of the parent shall be determined in the same manner as the domicile and residency of an independent person; and

b. The domicile and residency of a dependent person whose parents are divorced, separated, or otherwise living apart shall be Kentucky if either parent is domiciled in and is a resident of Kentucky regardless of which parent has legal custody or is entitled to claim that person as a dependent pursuant to federal or Kentucky income tax provisions.

2. If the parent or parents of a dependent person are Kentucky residents and are domiciled in Kentucky but subsequently move from the state:

3. Membership in the National Guard or civilian employment at a military base alone shall not qualify a person for Kentucky residency status under the provisions of subsections (1) and (2) of this section. If a member of the Kentucky National Guard is on active duty status for a period of not less than thirty (30) days, the member shall be considered a Kentucky resident, as shall the spouse of a dependent child of the member.

4. A person's residency status established pursuant to this section shall be reassessed if the qualifying condition is terminated.

The US Department of Education is improving integrity in the programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), by amending the regulations for the Student Assistance General Provisions. These regulations are effective for enrollment periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

## TYPES OF AID COVERED:

All Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), KY College Access Program (CAP Grant), Federal Work-Study, TEACH Grant, Federal Perkins Loans and William D. Ford Federal Direct Stafford and PLUS Loans

## POLICY AND PROCEDURES:

<table border=1 style='margin: auto; word-wrap: break-word;'><tr><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'></td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>Fall Semester</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>Spring Semester</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>Total Attempted (all years)</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>Must earn at least 75%</td></tr><tr><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>1st Year</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>16 hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>16 hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>32 Hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>32 hours × 67% = 20 hours</td></tr><tr><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>2nd Year</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>15 hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>15 hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>62 Hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>62 hours × 67% = 42 hours</td></tr><tr><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>3rd Year</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>17 hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>17 hours ·</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>96 Hours</td><td style='text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;'>96 hours × 75% = 64 hours</td></tr></table>

• Attempted hours are defined as those for which a student receives a grade of A, B, C, D, F, I, W, WP, or WF.

• Grades A, B, C, and D shall be considered as credits earned.

- Grades F, W, I and Audit count as attempted hours for the purpose of determining Satisfactory Academic Progress.

Withdrawing from courses at any point after the drop/add period will negatively affect the student's completion rate. A Student who repeats courses, withdraws frequently or takes courses not related to a degree objective is not making progress toward graduation and is subject to loss of eligibility for financial aid.

### 3. Maximum Time Frame for Degree Completion

All undergraduate and graduate students are expected to finish their program within a maximum time frame which cannot exceed 150% of the published length of their program. All attempted credit hours are considered toward the maximum time

A student who changes his/her major is still responsible for completing his/her degree in the maximum time frame. The allowed time frame does not automatically increase if you change your major or pursue double majors.

## APPEAL OF FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION:

Students who fail to meet satisfactory progress standards as defined may appeal the ruling to the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Committee if they believe extenuating circumstances led to their failure to maintain satisfactory progress. The Committee is comprised of faculty and/or staff members from various departments on campus. The Committee meets as needed to review appeals. The Assistant Director of Student Financial Aid prepares and presents the appeals to the Committee, but does not vote on the appeal decision except in the case of a tie vote. The student is sent a letter from the Assistant Director on behalf of the Committee notifying them of the Committee's decision. All appeals and relevant documents are kept in the student's file. Students wishing to appeal must submit completed SAP appeal to Financial Aid office by July 15th, prior to the start of the Fall Semester. The Committee's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

## Appeals must include:

1. A completed and signed Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form. The form can be found on  www.kysu.edu.

2. A letter written by the student which clearly states the extraordinary circumstances which may have adversely affected the student's academic performance and what changes have occurred to ensure academic success.

3. Documentation of the extraordinary circumstances identified in the student's letter.

4. Degree Audit completed by Academic Advisor.

Send your completed appeal to: Kentucky State University, Office of Financial Aid, c/o SAP Committee, Suite 349—ASB, Frankfort, KY 40601.

## Reestablishing Eligibility for Federal Student Aid (FSA):

A student who loses his/her eligibility for FSA funds because the student fails to satisfy a school's standard of satisfactory academic progress, other than when an appeal is granted for unusual or mitigating circumstances, can reestablish eligibility only by taking action that brings

===== PAGE 119 =====
them into compliance with the qualitative and quantitative components of the school's standard including the maximum timeframe. Should a student's financial aid eligibility be terminated for failure to maintain satisfactory progress as defined, his/her financial aid will not be reinstated until the student enrolls for a subsequent academic term (fall, spring or summer term) at his/her own expense and completes the term(s) bringing the student back into compliance with the satisfactory progress definition. If the student now meets the SAP standards, the student should then file an appeal with the Office of Financial Aid to re-review the academic record

## INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIP POLICIES

The University offers a variety of academic and nonacademic Scholarships/Grants-In-Aid for incoming first-year students (graduating high school seniors), returning, and transfer students. Details of these scholarships are provided below. Interested graduating high school seniors and transfer students should contact the University's Office of Admissions and returning students should contact the Office of Financial Aid for appropriate application materials.

Institutional scholarships are monitored by SFA and the University's Scholarship Committee. The Committee is charged with conducting an ongoing review of scholarship policies, fees, and monitoring the award of all institutional scholarships for compliance with university regulations. Graduating high school seniors will be notified by the Admissions Office. Notifying returning

scholarship candidates of their status will be initiated no later than ten (10) working days after the end of the academic year (spring semester) by the Office of Financial Aid.

## Academic Scholarship Policy

Changes in guidelines and procedures for scholarships shall be recommended by academic units, schools, and/or colleges and submitted to the Scholarship Committee for review and submission to the President for approval. Kentucky State University commits to maintaining scholarship programs of financial assistance. All academic scholarship awards shall be processed by SFA for compliance with the following University policies:

1. All scholarship and grant-in-aid recipients must have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file by April 15th.

Unless otherwise stated in the description of the scholarship, summer scholarship awards are not available. Summer grades and credit hours earned by summer scholarship recipients will not be used to increase cumulative GPA and credit hour totals for the preceding academic year (fall and spring). Students, however, have the right to appeal through the Scholarship Committee.

10. No student will be awarded total scholarship assistance from University funds which exceeds the value of the award. Outside monies awarded and/or financial aid awards combined with institutional scholarship awards cannot exceed the estimated expense budget as determined by SFA.

## Overaward Policy

An overaward is financial aid that exceeds a student's financial need and/or cost of attendance. When a student receives federal and/or state aid, Kentucky State University is required to adhere to all associated regulations. All aid, including scholarships, grants, loans, tuition remission, 3rd party payments, housing waivers and benefits, awards and prizes, and other various programs must be counted as estimated financial assistance in a student's total aid package.

It is the student's responsibility to report all sources of estimated financial assistance. Examples include departmental scholarships, employee tuition remission, outside scholarships, alternative (or outside) student loans, third party assistance, housing benefits or waivers, etc. To report estimated financial assistance not already included in your aid package, complete the Report Other Aid form enclosed with your award letter. (You may also contact the Office of Financial Aid to report the additional source/resource). Reporting this information to the Office of Financial Aid early will help prevent changes in eligibility that may result in reductions to financial aid.

When the Office of Financial Aid identifies an overaward, adjustments will be made to the student's aid package to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. Self-help aid (i.e. loans and work-study awards) is adjusted before grant or scholarship aid. If an overaward occurs after aid has been disbursed, the student may be required to repay all or a portion of their financial aid to the University.

## Institutional Aid Stacking Policy

The sum of all institutional aid received by a student cannot exceed Kentucky State University's standard direct costs to be determined each year.

Direct costs include tuition, average room and board, and average book costs. For the 2015-2016 academic year, the undergraduate  limits are as follows: 15,644 for residents, 23,010 for  destiny/legacy, and 25,946 for non-residents KSU will review each individual student's direct costs to determine the individual's limitation on institutional aid.

===== PAGE 125 =====
Any funding paid by Kentucky State University may be considered institutional aid. Some examples are admission-based scholarships, departmental awards, employee tuition remission, KRS benefits, housing waivers and benefits, and athletic scholarships.

Kentucky State University reserves the right to adjust institutional scholarship awards when a student's total institutional aid exceeds the designated limit.

## KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

Kentucky State University Foundation Scholarship application forms can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. Graduating high school seniors must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a 21 ACT/SAT equivalent. Returning students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and 24 semester credit hours per academic year.

## NON-ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP POLICIES

Changes in guidelines and procedures for scholarships shall be recommended by academic units, schools, and/or colleges and submitted to the Scholarship Committee for review and subsequent recommendation to the President for review and approval. The University offers a variety of non-academic Grants-In-Aid for both first-year and continuing students. Details of these opportunities are provided below. Kentucky State University commits to maintaining scholarship/grant-in-aid programs of financial assistance. All institutional scholarship/grant-in-aid awards shall be processed by the Office of Financial Aid for compliance with the following University policies:

1. All scholarship and grant-in-aid recipients must have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file.

2. All non-academic scholarship candidates must be enrolled in the University and have met University criteria for the award of institutional aid.

3. Each non-academic scholarship candidate must meet the minimum requirements for admission to the University. Individual scholarship programs may require higher academic grade-point averages and/or test scores.

4. All candidates for institutional scholarships/ grants-in-aid must file appropriate applications for institutional, state and federal programs for financial assistance. Failure to complete such applications or to finalize awards is grounds for termination of an award.

5. The maximum amount of an institutional scholarship/grant-in-aid award will be adjusted downward to reflect any appropriate federal, state, institutional, or other awards received by the candidate.

6. Each full-time institutional scholarship/ grant-in-aid recipient must remain a full-time student during each semester and must successfully complete a minimum of 24 non-repeated semester credit hours during each academic year. Renewal requirements for individual scholarships/grants may be more stringent.

The Office of Student Affairs also serves as the central administrative office for student

===== PAGE 133 =====
non-academic activities and is primarily responsible for student conduct and discipline; meal exemptions; excuses for class absences; processing emergency student loans; counseling; and coordinating all areas in the unit.

## STUDENT LIFE

Kentucky State University's Student Life Office serves as the focal point of University community life. The Office administers social, cultural, educational, and recreational activities in the Hill Student Center and the use of Student Center facilities by students, faculty/staff, and off-campus individuals. The Office monitors the activities of all campus organizations and serves in an advisory capacity to a number of student organizations.

The Office fosters students' growth and development by creating opportunities for students to sponsor and participate in social, cultural, spiritual, and recreational programs. Students gain leadership skills by taking on actual responsibilities of citizenship, putting their learning into the context of living, and applying their learning to practical situations.

The Office coordinates groups with common interests in the successful completion of campus-wide projects and activities; provides services and facilities to carry out University-sponsored programs that contribute to the educational and cultural growth of the University community; and coordinates the scheduling of such activities on the University's campus by on- and off-campus groups and organizations.

## STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

The Student Government Association (SGA) of Kentucky State University, which is the student governing body, offers the students a voice in the affairs of the campus community. The officers and other members manage many student-only projects, and one member serves as a voting member of the University's Board of Regents. This organization plays a part in scheduling activities that enhance the social and cultural life of Kentucky State University students. Whether planning entertainment, presenting the student point of view to the University administration, or encouraging academic excellence among the student body, participants in student government help shape their community.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS At Kentucky State University, “a chance to participate, and the opportunity to get involved” is much more than a phrase; it is a fact of campus life. The range of student organizations includes Greek fraternities and sororities, honor societies, academic clubs, literary groups, art/music clubs, and special interest organizations (nursing, international students, chess, etc.). Students with interests that are not represented may inaugurate organizations related to those interests. Interested students should contact the Office of Student Life.

## STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

Kentucky State's Office of Student Health Services helps ensure the physical and mental health of University students. It is staffed by a registered nurse, a licensed physician, comprehensive counselor, drug and alcohol counselor, and secretary. The office is located in the Betty White Health Center. Its program is broad in scope, encompassing preventive medicine, health education, physical and mental health care, wellness program, and appropriate referrals. Students are provided appropriate advice, medicines, comfort, educational materials, and first aid. When necessary, Student Health Services refers students to appropriate health-care professionals or facilities in the Frankfort community or beyond. All records, treatments, and referrals are strictly confidential.

The services provided to students by Student Health Services include the following:

AIDS education;

• Educational counseling for alcohol and other drug abuse;

• Health education workshops and seminars to promote healthy life-styles;

Counseling and mental health services by a licensed psychologist;

Preventive and corrective health care (on an out-patient basis);

• An annual health fair.

## CAREER COUNSELING AND PLACEMENT

Choosing a career is an important concern of students and their families. While premature decisions are risky, failure to address career opportunities must also be avoided. The University devotes considerable attention to the goal of helping students think seriously about the implication of their career interests and then to locate practical ways to successfully satisfy the requirements of those career interests. It is appropriate to remind students that there is time enough to make adequate plans for careers. Indeed, what is essential is that students realize that many different kinds of career and vocational interests are available to them. KSU's Office of Career Counseling and Placement assists students in need of academic, personal, social, and vocational counseling. The Office offers assistance to graduates in finding suitable employment in business, industry, governmental, and educational organizations that seek college-trained personnel for permanent employment; and informs faculty, staff, and administrators about employment trends, standards, and requirements (particularly as they affect the specific office or academic program concerned).

The Office also:

• Provides individual and group counseling to students at all levels;

• Provides counseling for transfer, international, and nontraditional students;

Develops and implements career-awareness and education programs for students, faculty, and the community;

• Provides work experiences for students as part of their occupational orientation and career development;

• Provides to students an option for incorporating a paid work experience into their education; and

===== PAGE 135 =====
• Provides students the opportunity to consider possible employers through its placement activities.

## RESIDENCE LIFE

The University provides housing for students who wish to live on campus. The Office of Residence Life oversees the operation of all University-owned and operated housing facilities for students and coordinates all programs, services, and activities associated with these facilities. Most full-time undergraduate students live in the University's residence halls. All full-time first-year and sophomore students, except veterans of at least two years' active military service, students who commute 50 miles or less from their parents' or legal guardians' homes, married students, or students 21 years of age or older, are required to live in campus housing. Residence halls vary in size and architectural style, and they provide double-room accommodations in most instances. A limited number of single rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

An obvious advantage of the residence halls is their proximity to classroom buildings, the library, cafeteria, Student Center, gymnasium, and health center. Students in the residence halls have access to television lounges, kitchen and laundry facilities, vending services and study rooms. Laptop computers are available for students to check out in each of the residence halls. All the residences are professionally staffed by Residence Hall Managers and supported by students who serve as Resident Assistants. Meals are provided at the Underwood Cafeteria in the Student Center.

The Office of Residence Life encourages personal development through in-hall programs, academic and social activities, and is responsible for ensuring that students have an atmosphere conducive to studying. Students are encouraged and supported to assume responsibilities that foster growth away from home. The Office of Residence Life ensures that the physical condition of the residence halls is maintained at an optimal level and that opportunities are provided for social interaction in the residence halls.

Security of all residence halls is a priority. All exterior doors in the residence halls are locked 24hrs a day 7 days a week. Upon entering any residence hall on campus, all students and staff must have proper photo identification.

Applications for room assignments can be submitted year-round; however, applications are processed only after students have been officially admitted to the University. Requests for room reservations should be addressed to the Office of Residence Life.

Each student desiring to reside in University housing will be required to sign a Kentucky State University Two Semester Residence Hall Contract and pay a Housing Reservation Fee of $250. All fees must be paid in the form of cash, certified check, cashier's check, money order, personal check, or major credit card to:

Kentucky State University, Office of Residence Life, 400 East Main Street, Academic Services Building, Room 317, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601. (Please do not mail cash.) Housing reservation fees are non-refundable.

===== PAGE 136 =====
Every effort will be made to honor an applicant's preference of residence hall and roommate assignment; however, a particular room is not guaranteed. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date the deposit is received. Each student will be required to sign a University Two Semester Residence Hall Contract, which sets forth the conditions for student housing.

Semester room charges must be paid per two semesters during the regular academic year. Summer session room fees are due at the beginning of the summer term. All fees and expenses are payable in accordance with the fee-payment schedule in the Student Expenses section of this Catalogue.

## ROOM AND BOARD REFUNDS

Any room and board refund eligibility is determined by the agreement set forth in the housing contract. The schedule and amount of eligible room and board refunds is governed by the University Tuition and Fee Refund Policy for each semester.

## UNIVERSITY PROPERTY DAMAGE

Students are expected to care for their rooms and to keep them clean and orderly. Kentucky State University attempts to make it possible for students to enjoy good living conditions; therefore, it expects those who occupy rooms in the residence halls to keep them in good condition. Students will be charged for any damage to University property.

## PROPERTY INSURANCE REQUIREMENT

The University requires each resident to pay $60 annually for a Theft, Fire, Natural Disaster and Accidental Damage insurance policy. Kentucky State University shall not be responsible for any resident student's loss of property, theft of property, or damage of property. Students will be responsible for filing the appropriate claims through the insurance policy provider.

===== PAGE 137 =====
## UNIVERSITY POLICE

The Kentucky State University Police Department is a full service law enforcement agency with a mission to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere so that the KSU community can function as freely as possible without the effects of crime. The agency consists of sworn officers commissioned through the Kentucky Criminal Justice Training Department and civilian employee positions. Sworn police officers have full law enforcement authority. Safety requires the cooperative efforts of the University, students, faculty, and staff. Several service-oriented functions are provided to the University community upon request. The University Police Department provides escorts to accompany an individual to any University academic building, parking lot, or residence hall. The University Police Department also maintains security staff in the residence halls from 11 pm to 7 am during the school year. All visitors, students, faculty members, or employees can report potential criminal actions and other emergencies on campus directly to the University Police by dialing (502) 597-6878. The department is located in the Exum Building on the main campus.

## INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

The Kentucky State University is a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and sponsors teams in a variety of intercollegiate sports. Competing at the NCAA Division II level, the KSU Thorobreds pride themselves on excellence on the fields of play and in the classroom. Our teams are led by coaches who are dedicated to the development of the whole student-athlete. We are committed to providing a well-rounded educational, athletic and social experience for the young men and women who chose to take up the challenge of representing the mighty Thorobred heritage.

Throughout its history, Kentucky State has had a proud tradition of athletic excellence. From a National Championship football team in the '30s, to the three-time NAIA National Championship basketball team of the late '60s and early '70s, Thorobred friends and fans have had something to cheer about. In more recent years, KSU has been home to a National Minority Championship-winning golf team, a softball team that brought home five SIAC championships and countless athletes with impressive individual achievements. For example, four SIAC volleyball championships, and one SIAC championship in both men's and women's basketball. Also, the 2014 golf team won the SIAC championship. The women's basketball team qualified for the 2015 NCAA championship.

Men's varsity sports include baseball, basketball, cross-country, indoor and outdoor track and field, football and golf. Women's varsity sports include basketball, cross-country, indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, and volleyball.

Alumni Stadium, a 7500-seat stadium, serves as the home of the KSU football team. The basketball teams practice and compete in the William Exum Center, a facility that seats 2,750 people. The women's volleyball team uses both the William Exum Center and Bell Gymnasium for matches and practices. Other sports use a combination of campus and municipal facilities for practice and competition. The athletics administration is housed in the Exum Center along with the Men's and Women's Basketball coaches and the Women's Volleyball coach. All other sports and the Academic Center for Student-Athletes is housed in Alumni Stadium.

The CAFSSS works to resolve agricultural, educational, economic, and social problems of the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, especially limited-resource persons and families. The various programs of the College are supported by federal and state funds. Each of the five research divisions works to fulfill the requirements of the Second Morrill Act of 1890 by advancing the three pillars of the land grant mission: research, cooperative extension, and teaching which Land Grant programs nationwide were founded upon.

## Research

The CAFSSS has nationally and internationally recognized research programs in aquaculture (or fish farming), organic agriculture, sustainable biofuel feedstock production, alternative fruit and nut crops, ecological entomology, alternative pesticides and water quality, goat production, obesity and human health, apiculture, and geospatial sciences. The Aquaculture Program, KSU's "Program of Distinction," is widely recognized as a leader in the areas of paddlefish culture, freshwater prawn culture, Koi breeding, production of feed-trained largemouth bass, and fish meal replacement research.

KSU boasts the largest multi-disciplinary organic agriculture program in the 1890's Land Grant system. The program recently released its first pawpaw fruit variety, KSU-Atwood™. Nutritional Sciences and Food Systems researchers are screening produce from small conventional and organic farms for pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance. The Kentucky River Thorobred, KSU's new aquatic vessel, will serve as a laboratory for undergraduate and graduate students and will be used to teach Kentucky River ecology and natural history.

These research programs provide mentoring opportunities for students in degree programs where they work with faculty experienced in cutting edge research techniques in areas important to agricultural, aquaculture, food, and environmental sciences.

The Atwood Research Facility contains 7,000 square feet of office space and 7,000 square feet of laboratory space, including a molecular genetics laboratory and nutrition laboratory. KSU's Aquaculture Research Center (ARC) includes 33 research ponds, a 3,000-square-foot hatchery houses spawning, holding, and experimental tanks, and a 4,000-square-foot office/laboratory building includes a state-of-the-art histology laboratory. The ARC has also introduced a new Production Technology Building that includes a state-of-the-art genetics laboratory, and a 10,000 square foot wet lab for the study and development of aquaponics,

biofloc and other intensive recycle systems.

Augmenting these facilities are KSU's 300-acre Harold R. Benson Research and Demonstration Farm and the 300-acre Environmental Education and Research Center. The KSU farm has goat, beef, poultry, and fruit and vegetable trials, conservation biological control, and 11 acres of certified organic land which hosts a range of projects in organic agriculture.

## Extension and Outreach

The Cooperative Extension Program (CEP) provides education and technical assistance to limited-resource families and communities by meeting the needs of farmers, youth, entrepreneurs, and many others. Some Extension programs provide one-to-one opportunities where paraprofessionals work directly with family members. The CEP has nationally and internationally recognized programs in: family and consumer sciences, family development and management, family financial management and consumer education, small farmer outreach training and technical assistance, apiculture, goat production, community resource development, entrepreneurship, 4-H youth development, and Hispanic initiatives.

Program accomplishments include: the Third Thursday Sustainable Agriculture Workshop series; the Strengthening Kentucky Families (SKY Families) Program, which provides parenting education to persons who have been separated from their children through the family court system; five residential summer youth programs; award-winning programs in financial management; and the Small and Part-time Farmer Program. The KSU Nutrition Kitchen brings fresh meals and nutrition education to traditionally underserved areas of Louisville.

Extension program facilities include the new Center for Sustainability of Farms and Families, a $5 million, 12,000 square foot, 600-seat building at the KSU Research and Demonstration Farm. A new Center for Families and Children is a $3.5 million, 15,180 square foot building that will serve pre-school and adolescent children and their families. The Cooperative Extension Building, which houses a Television Production Studio, is supported by an Uplink/Downlink Satellite Truck and state-of-the-art communications equipment available for use by all of CAFSSS. The geographic information systems (GIS) laboratory is also located in the Cooperative Extension Building and is utilized by students, faculty and by agricultural research and CEP staff to support their activities. The KSU farm has goat, beef, poultry, and fruit and vegetable trials, conservation biological control research plots, and 11 acres of certified organic land which hosts a range of projects in organic agriculture.

## Teaching and Degree Programs

Today's world needs people prepared to solve global challenges related to a safe and reliable food supply, protection of natural resources, climate change, improved nutrition, public health, and alternative energy sources. The United States Department of Agriculture and United States Department of Labor predict significant job growth in the areas of food, renewable energy, environment, and agribusiness. Increased demand is expected for agricultural inspectors, environmental scientists and specialists, including health, agriculturists and food scientists, soil and plant scientists, conservation scientists, forest and conservation technicians, agricultural and environmental law, public and agricultural policy, biotechnology, fisheries and wildlife, economic development, and agricultural communications. A degree from

KSU"s CAFSSS will prepare graduates for a variety of jobs in these fields.

The CAFSSS baccalaureate degree program in Agriculture, Food, and Environment (AFE) with four individual Options in Agricultural, Environmental, Nutritional Sciences and Food Systems, and Aquaculture Systems prepares graduates in these growth areas in the U.S. economy. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students from diverse backgrounds will develop a broad understanding of relationships between agricultural and aquaculture systems, food safety, and the environment.

The CAFSSS also offers Masters' degrees in Aquaculture/Aquatic Science, and Environmental Studies (MES).

## Statewide Articulation Agreement for Agricultural Education

Kentucky State University has recently joined the Statewide Articulation Agreement for Agricultural Education. This agreement permits high school students to earn up to 6 credit hours toward our Bachelor's Degree in AFE while still in high school. The articulation agreement is very significant, because students in agricultural education who complete at least three (3) high school credits in either Animal Science Systems or Horticulture/Plant Science Systems career majors (with a grade of "B" or better in all three (3) classes) and who also pass the appropriate "Skill Standards Assessment" for that major area, will receive three (3) credit hours in either Animal Science or Plant Science. For example, high school students with a Career Major in Horticulture (or a minimum of 3 credits in recommended courses in Horticulture) with a grade of at least a B in each class and passing the Horticulture skills standard test, Kentucky Occupational Skills Standards Assessment (KOSSA), will receive 3 credits for AFE 217 Plant Science. The grade awarded for the appropriate class(es) will be "Pass" or "P". The AFE courses for which students can receive the credit are:

Animal Science System (AFE 211 Animal Science, 3 credit hours)

Horticulture/Plant Science Systems (AFE 217 Plant Science, 3 credit hours)

## PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology involves the scientific study of a vast array of phenomena related to the actions and experiences of organisms. Psychologists study phenomena such as perception, memory, thought, behavior, and the psychological, social, physiological, and developmental processes that underlie these phenomena. In addition to its commitment to scientific truth, psychology requires the application of knowledge and critical thinking/reasoning skills to assess, prevent, and resolve individual and social problems.

The Psychology program at Kentucky State University leads to a major or a minor that prepares the student with a solid, well-rounded education in psychology. The study of psychology serves as a useful foundation for the pursuit of careers in business, law, medicine, social work, and the other helping professions; or majors may pursue further study in psychology at the graduate level.

To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, a student must complete a minimum of 120 semester credit hours, including 36 semester credit hours in Psychology.

## DIVISION OF FINE ARTS

The Division of Fine Arts is comprised of Baccalaureate degree programs, academic minors and formal curricular experiences that broaden human potential, promote intellectual and aesthetic inquiry, and foster artistic creativity and growth. The Division’s programs in Studio Art, Music, Speech and Theatre provide an aesthetic, intellectual and multicultural environment that is vital to the greater institutional community, engaging that community in actively “doing art,” and preparing Kentucky State University’s students for a variety of professions in the arts and related fields. Through presentations such as concerts, recitals, theatre productions, art exhibitions, lectures, master classes and workshops, the division provides an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life. The Division prepares its majors for a variety of professions in the arts and related fields, and gives them a foundation for graduate study.

The Division additionally supports the University's mission by providing liberal studies courses in studio art, music, speech and theater; by providing students with opportunities to develop and enhance effective oral and interpersonal communication skills for life in today's multicultural society; by providing professional services to public schools; and by preparing students to make significant contributions to society as fine arts educators, performers, and visual artists. Finally, the Division promotes teaching excellence through its maintenance of a low student-faculty ratio and its emphasis on performance-based goals.

## STUDIO ART

The Art Area at Kentucky State University offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with one Area of Concentration, a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with a Minor, A Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with an option of P-12 certification, and a Minor in Studio Art. Students have the option to choose one of several areas of concentration: Two-dimensional Arts (Drawing and Painting), Three-Dimensional Arts (Sculpture and Ceramics), Digital Arts (Digital Imaging, Photography, and Video), or Experimental Directions (Mixed-media, Installation, Performance, and/or alternative media such as Internet).

The program uses an interdisciplinary approach to learning that prepares students for a variety of professions in the arts and related fields, and provides the foundation for graduate study. Critical thinking and analysis/interpretation of aesthetic issues are emphasized. Students are challenged to develop individual professional directions that reflect contemporary art investigations and issues of contemporary culture, with alternative presentation formats.

Enrollment in studio art classes is generally limited to 10-15 students. Instructors provide personal guidance and attention to each student, and a community of fellow artists/scholars support each other intellectually and creatively.

Two gas kilns with a 37 cu. ft. capacity each can accommodate large scale ceramic work. One is designed for high and low temperature salt glazing and the other for high-fire reduction glazes. There is also an outdoor raku kiln and a community shared Wood-fired Kiln at Shauntee Hall's Greg Seigel Ceramics Complex. This is one of the better ceramic complexes in the state and prepares students for professional level production.

selected from 300/400 level courses); a 3 credit hour art history elective; and 12 credit hours of 300/400 level courses in Art elective courses.

## Studio Art Minor

This is a non-teaching minor. A minor in Studio Art requires the completion of 21 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include ART 110, 112, 113, 201, and 202; and 6 semester credit hours of studio art electives at the 200 level or above.

## Art Area Additional Regulations and Requirements:

Art Exhibits. All Art majors are expected to attend the opening of each campus exhibit sponsored by the Art Area, as well at Guest Artist presentations, lectures and talks. Attendance will be a component of the Sophomore Review and Senior Review.

Sophomore Review. While enrolled in the fourth semester of the Art curriculum, each student must present examples of his or her art work from each of the studio art areas for review by members of the Art faculty. After this review, the Art faculty will advise the student whether upper-level courses should be taken. If the recommendation of the faculty is to not continue the Studio Art degree curriculum then the student will be advised on alternative options at KSU, and faculty will work with the student to design an alternative option for a degree, either the General Studies Degree or an alternative major and the possibility of an Art Minor.

Senior Review and Exhibit. Each Art major's work is reviewed during the senior year by the Art faculty to ascertain whether the work is of sufficient quality to warrant a public exhibit. If a student's work does not pass the review, it must be resubmitted. Art majors are required to have a public exhibit of their art work prior to graduation, either on-campus or an approved community venue.

□ Non-Art Majors. Non-Art majors may take any introductory Art course and any advanced Art course for which prerequisites may be waived by the instructor of the course.

## Music Placement Examinations

Placement examinations in music theory, piano, and applied music on the principal instrument or voice are given during registration week of the fall and spring semesters to all entering students intending to declare a major in Music. The Music Theory Placement Examination is administered to determine the student's level of entry in the music theory sequence (MUS 099 or MUS 112). The Piano Placement Examination is administered to determine the student's level

of entry in piano studies (MUC 110, 111, 210 or 211; MUA 121, 122, 221, or 222, Minor Applied Piano; or MUE 310 as applicable).

Applied music placements are facilitated by the music faculty to determine the student's level of entry into the major or minor sequence of applied studies.

## Applied Music Jury Examinations

All major applied students are required to perform a jury examination each semester of study. However, a student must have successfully completed at least 70-percent of repertoire assigned by the applied instructor during the semester to be eligible to perform the jury. If the student does not perform a jury, or is ineligible to perform a jury, then the applied music course is failed.

In order for an absence from a scheduled applied music jury to be excused, a student must submit an official excuse from the Office of Student Affairs at least one day prior to the jury, or if there are serious mitigating circumstances, no later than the end of the Final Examination Week. If the absence is excused, then the student may receive an incomplete grade ("I") in accordance with University academic policy. If the absence is unexcused, then the jury is failed, resulting in failure of the course.

## Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination

The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination is the MUA 262 or MUA 282 jury heard by a quorum of applied music faculty to determine the student's mastery of performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through 300- and 400-level applied music courses. Based on the outcome of the jury examination (pass/fail) the Music Faculty will advise the student to continue in their Music degree program or elect another degree program in the University.

## Removal from Major

Students may be removed from the Bachelor of Arts in Music and Bachelor of Music degree

===== PAGE 169 =====
programs if they have not successfully completed (passed) the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination on their major instrument or voice within two successive semesters. A student who fails the Examination on the first attempt will be allowed a second attempt in the

following semester. A student who fails the Examination on the second attempt will be removed from the major and will be returned to undeclared status.

## Piano Proficiency Examination

The Piano Proficiency Examination is administered to determine achievement of required keyboard skills competencies. For Music Education majors, a passing score on the examination must be achieved to successfully complete MUE 311. For Music Performance majors, a passing score on the examination must be achieved to successfully complete MUA 222 (piano).

## Major Areas of Performance

Each music major is required to designate a principal performance area of major applied study and must enroll in the corresponding course sequence until performance requirements (Bachelor of Arts in Music) or recital requirements (Bachelor of Music) are completed. Changes in the principal performance area must be approved by a quorum of the Music Faculty. If the change in the principal performance area is approved by the Music Faculty, the student is required to begin major applied in the new principal performance area at a level to be determined by Music Faculty.

## Required Recital Performances

All music majors enrolled in the Bachelor of Music degree program must perform a junior and/or senior recital on their major instrument or voice to demonstrate knowledge of applicable solo performance literature and competency in its preparation. Students enrolled in the Music Education Specialization must perform a recital of 30 minutes of music (Senior Recital) during the semester of enrollment in MUA 461. Students enrolled in the Music Performance Specialization must perform a recital of 30 minutes of music during the semester of enrollment in MUA 382 (Junior Recital), and a recital of 45 minutes of music during the semester of enrollment in MUA 482 (Senior Recital). All recitals must be heard and approved by a quorum of the Music Faculty no later than three weeks prior to the scheduled performance. No recitals may be presented after the last official day of classes or during the Final Examination Week of the applicable semester.

## DIVISION OF LITERATURE, LANGUAGES, AND PHILOSOPHY

The study of the Language Arts has always been central to a Liberal Arts Curriculum. The Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in English with concentrations in Literature, Creative Writing, or certification in teaching English; a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication/Journalism; a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and minor programs in Creative Writing, English, Foreign Languages, Journalism, and Philosophy.

The English major provides students with a flexible curriculum, designed to provide the training and marketable skills sought by law schools, public relations firms, advertising agencies, and graduate school programs. To that end, the English major develops the writing and textual analysis skills which are crucial to an increasingly information-laden, text-oriented world in which the average employee will change careers at least five times before retirement. Majors complete both a set of core requirements and courses in a concentration of their choice: Literature, Creative Writing, or English Education.

The Division also offers minor programs in English, French, Spanish, Philosophy, Creative Writing, and Journalism. These minor programs are designed to complement the major programs offered by Kentucky State University and to provide students with additional flexibility and breadth of academic training. These minors are particularly useful for those students who wish to be flexible in future career paths, who plan careers in fields requiring diverse skills, and who will be pursuing global careers.

Every course offered by the Division emphasizes writing, and students are encouraged to take an active part in classroom discussion. Coursework in foreign languages emphasizes written and spoken communication skills, and faculty make an effort to acquaint students with the complex relationships that exist between literary traditions and the historical and cultural contexts out of which these traditions arise. Coursework in philosophy addresses fundamental questions about the nature and possibility of knowledge, problems of ethics, logical issues, questions about the nature of reality, and issues that arise in the making and criticism of works of art.

## Divisional Attendance Policy

For all classes offered by the Division of Literature, Languages and Philosophy, the Divisional Attendance Policy will be enforced. This policy states that missing more than twenty percent (20%) of the course's total class meetings for any reason is in itself sufficient cause for a student to receive a failing grade in the course. Instructors may adopt other attendance policies at their own discretion as long as these policies are included in the class syllabus and are within the parameters of the University's attendance policy. Instructors will adopt their own policies for lateness and early departure from class and list these policies in the class syllabus.

## ENGLISH

Admission to the Program requires formal application and acceptance into the program. After a prospective English Major's successful completion of English 215 or 211, the applicant (or applicant's advisor) must submit a completed file to the English Major Committee for consideration for admission to the English Major Program.

===== PAGE 178 =====
To apply to be an English Major, you must supply the following materials:

1. Evidence of a minimum GPA of 3.0 in English 101, 102, and 211/215 or a letter of recommendation from your advisor or English instructor;

2. One formally submitted and graded paper from one of your English classes;

3. A letter of application briefly describing yourself and your reasons for wishing to major in English.

Materials should be submitted in a manila envelope, labeled with the applicant's complete name, a current phone number, and the applicant's KSU e-mail address. An applicant may expect written notification of his/her departmental status during the semester of application.

A student who receives below a “C” in two major classes will have his or her record evaluated by English Major Committee. The English Major Committee can remove any student from the English major whose academic progress in English classes is deemed insufficient or who has been recommended for removal by an English instructor or by the Division Chair due to academic dishonesty (plagiarism).

## MASS COMMUNICATIONS AND JOURNALISM

The health of a democracy is deeply connected to the health of a free press. Thomas Jefferson thought so highly of the importance of the press' role in guarding the people's rights that he stated: "If I had to choose between a government without a free press and a free press without government, I would choose the latter." From the hey-day of its nationally celebrated civil rights leader and alumnus Whitney M. Young, Jr. to its connections with Kentucky's black owned or operated newspapers and indeed throughout its own history has been deeply achieved and challenges, Kentucky State University's own history has been deeply entwined with the exercise of a free press. All three aspects of Kentucky State's mission — liberal studies, land grant status (especially the mass communications facilities of the land grant program), and its status as an HBCU —, coalesce together in a B. A. program in Mass Communications and Journalism.

Unconditional admission to the B. A. program in Mass Communications and Journalism requires the following:

• The student must be in good academic standing with the University;

- The student must have completed with a passing mark (C or above) the pre-requisite English courses, namely, ENG 101-English Composition I and ENG 102-English Composition II;

- The student must have a 3.0 Grade Point Average (4.0 scale) in English courses taken prior to application to the Journalism major;

The student must submit a letter of application articulating his or her interest in Journalism.

Students who do not hold the 3.0 GPA in English coursework may be considered for conditional admission, but must receive consent of the Journalism faculty and will be placed in a probationary status for the first academic year of coursework in Journalism.

## Major Program in Mass Communications and Journalism

The major has three components: 1) a 30 credit hour “core” of fundamental coursework in basic journalism and mass communication, 2) a 12 credit hour “concentration” in the student’s choice of more advanced coursework options in Print Journalism, Broadcast Journalism or Public Relations, and 3) a 9 credit hour selection of elective courses which offer appropriate, relevant support for the student’s choice of a mass communication or journalism concentration:

## MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Coursework in American Sign Language, French, and Spanish is offered by members of the faculty of the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy. Coursework in foreign languages emphasizes instruction in the fundamentals of syntax, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions. There is a four-way approach to teaching foreign languages (listening/comprehension, conversing, reading, and writing). Instruction takes place in both the classroom and the foreign language laboratory, where students practice speaking and pronunciation and where they watch video material, films, or documentaries in the foreign language they study. Intermediate and upper-level courses stress the acquisition of communicative skills and cultural or literary information.

Students who pursue a baccalaureate degree are required to complete 6 semester credit hours of a foreign language (101 and 102 or 171 and 172) as part of the Liberal Studies Requirements, or to demonstrate elementary knowledge in a foreign language by making the necessary score on an AP examination or on a CLEP examination (see the Catalogue section on Credit by Examination/Certification and credit for Life Experience). Foreign language proficiency examinations are also available to those who seek advanced placement in a foreign language or exemption from the foreign language requirement (see the Catalogue subsection on Proficiency Examination Programs).

Elementary foreign language courses 101 and 102 or 171 and 172 must be taken in sequence and in the same language.

# DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES

Inquiry into the nature of physical phenomena is among the most persistent of human concerns. During the past century, both the scope and pace of such inquiry have broadened and accelerated, and its influence on our civilization has become pervasive. The discoveries and consequences of scientific inquiry have profoundly affected the human race—both in daily life and in practically all domains of intellectual life.

The Division of Mathematics and Sciences believes that an understanding of mathematics and the sciences is an indispensable part of a sound education. Coursework in the Division provides students with instruction that addresses fundamental issues in the broad range of scientific inquiry. The Division seeks to instill in students an appreciation of critical thinking as well as knowledge of specific subjects. Students who decide to major in one of the disciplines of the Division undertake specialized study and research in their selected fields.

The Division offers majors in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The major in Biology includes four options: General Biology, Biotechnology, Pre-Professional, and Biology Education. The major in Mathematics includes three options: Mathematics/ Applied: Pre-Engineering, Pure Mathematics, and Mathematics Education. The major in Mathematics leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree; each of the others leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. Minors are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

A specialization in Biology Education or Mathematics Education prepares students for teacher certification in grades 8-12. The Education Preparation Program in Biology and Mathematics have specific admissions requirements and coursework, including a semester of full-time student teachings. Details for this degree program are provided in the Schooool of Education section of this catalogue in the College of Professional Studies. Students in these programs should maintain close contact with their Biology or Mathematics Education advisor in the Division as well as the faculty in the School of Education.

Students majoring in Applied Mathematics/Pre-Engineering pursue a five-year curriculum leading to two degrees: a Bachelor of Science degree in their selected field of engineering from an engineering granting university such as the University of Kentucky, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics from Kentucky State University. More information about this program may be found in the sub-section describing the Mathematics offerings. Students interested in Pre-Engineering should consult the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the Pre-Engineering advisors.

The Division offers a curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in programs related to the health professions. Students interested in medicine, optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy, or other allied health fields should consult the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the Pre-health professions advisors. The following section of this Catalogue, describing allied health offerings, also contains information relevant to these fields.

NOTE: Students must complete all Prerequisite Courses in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences with a grade of “C” or better before they may attempt the next course in a course sequence.

Students who need more information about the pre-dental track should consult the Chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the Pre-Health Professions advisors as early as their academic careers as possible.

## Optometry

Optometry is the profession of examining the eyes for defects and faults of refraction, and

===== PAGE 200 =====
prescribing corrective lenses or exercises. The Commonwealth of Kentucky sponsors a program that enables 15 qualified pre-optometry students who are Kentucky residents to gain admission each year to the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee, and the optometry schools of Indiana University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Eight entering spaces are reserved at Southern, four at Indiana University, and three at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Students must complete one year of biology with labs, one year of advanced biology (Human Anatomy and Human Physiology are suggested), Microbiology with lab, one year of general chemistry, one or two semesters of Organic Chemistry with lab (varies by school), Biochemistry, Calculus I, one year of physics with lab, psychology, and statistics. Biochemistry is recommended but not required.

Each applicant is required to take the Optometry Admission Test (OAT), which is designed to measure general academic ability and scientific knowledge of pre-requisite courses. Many schools also require a minimum number of hours in observation of a practicing optometrist. Students will apply through a special website, OptomCAS (Optometry College Application Service), one year before they desire admission.

## Pharmacy

Pharmacy is the profession of providing direct input into overall patient drug management. The pharmacist reviews updated patient medication profiles on a daily basis and is increasingly involved with direct patient care. Pre-pharmacy courses include: two years of biology (general biology, human anatomy, physiology and microbiology), one year of general chemistry with labs, one year of organic chemistry with labs, and one year of biochemistry.

Economics (most prefer microeconomics), psychology and/or sociology are also required. Biochemistry, cell biology, genetics are recommended as additional courses of value.

Each applicant is required to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), which is designed to measure general academic ability and scientific knowledge of pre-requisite courses. Many schools also require observation of a practicing pharmacist. Students will apply through a special website, PharmCAS (Pharmacy College Application Service), one year before they desire admission. Interested students should maintain close contact with the Division's Pre-Health Professions advisors or the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.

## Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a profession dealing with the development and administration of programs of care to restore motor function, relieve pain, and prevent disability in individuals whose abilities are threatened by disease, injury, loss of a body part, or conditions existing at birth. A licensed physical therapist requires a doctoral degree (DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy). In order to be admitted to the doctoral program, the student should complete the following pre-requisites: one year of general chemistry with labs, one year of physics with labs, one year of general biology (can include zoology), human anatomy, physiology, pre-calculus (or higher math), one year of psychology (general and an advanced course – some schools are specific about the advanced PSY course) and statistics.

===== PAGE 201 =====
Additional suggested courses of value include: sociology, exercise physiology, biochemistry, medical terminology, and management courses. In addition, interested students must document 50-100 clock hours of work or volunteer experience directly related to physical therapy. Specific requirements vary by institution, so students should consult the websites of schools that are of interest.

Many schools require that students take the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) as part of the admission process. Students may also be asked to apply through a special website, PTCAS (Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service), one year before they desire admission. Interested students should maintain close contact with the Division's Pre-Health Professions advisors or the chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.

## Veterinary Medicine

No colleges or universities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky offer training in veterinary medicine. However, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education administers a Southern Regional Education Board Program in Kentucky through which qualified Kentucky resident students may be accepted to the veterinary medicine schools of Auburn University and Tuskegee University. (At the time of publication of this Catalogue, the Council had contracted for 36 entering spaces annually: 34 at Auburn and two at Tuskegee.)

Students accepted under the regional plan are relieved of the obligation of paying out-of-state fees, and their expenses are identical to those of in-state students. Formal applications must be filed through the Council on Postsecondary Education, which re-views these applications and submits those selected to Auburn or Tuskegee for admission approval. Any student interested in veterinary medicine should have completed 80 semester credit hours of professional training with a minimum grade-point average of 2.5; however, preference is given to those students who have satisfied the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.

Interested students should consult the Chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the Pre-Veterinary Professions Advisor for further details and requirements.

## CHEMISTRY

The science of chemistry is concerned with the structure, composition, and reactions of matter. Chemistry instruction at the University is designed to familiarize the student with current views of these concepts. The relevance of chemistry is readily apparent, for the universe and the life forms it contains are chemical systems undergoing specific chemical reactions. To understand the universe and ourselves, it is necessary to understand the laws governing these chemical systems. A deeper knowledge of chemistry is necessary to solve many of humanity's problems: feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and bettering living conditions in general. Coursework in chemistry at Kentucky State University considers both experimental and theoretical topics and emphasizes their interdependence.

A minimum of 120 semester credit hours is required to earn the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. A minor in chemistry is also offered.

## Major in Chemistry

The courses required for a major in chemistry are CHE 101/110, 102/120, 301/310, 302/320, 303, 407, 409, 412, 414, and either 401 or 402. BIO 401 (Biology Seminar) may substitute for CHE 402 (Chemistry Seminar). The support courses required for a major in Chemistry are MAT 131 and 132; one additional mathematics course above MAT 132; one natural science elective (CHE, BIO, AQU, ENV) at the 300/400 level (chosen with advisor); and two physics courses from two options: PHY 211/212 or PHY 207/208. The calculus-based physics is preferred for graduate study in chemistry. The student must earn a grade of at least “C” in the required and support courses. Support courses and electives should be carefully chosen to meet the minimum of 42 semester credit hours of 300/400 level courses required for graduation. The major requirements satisfy the natural sciences requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core (Section III.C) as well as the math requirement (Section I).

## Minor in Chemistry

A minor in chemistry requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include CHE 101/110, 102/120, 301/310, and 302/320; the remaining 3 semester credit hours must be selected from CHE 303, 315/350, 407, and 412.

## MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS

Knowledge of mathematical facts and procedures is indispensable to a satisfactory understanding of every field of science. This is true for both the physical and biological sciences, and even the humanities are influenced by the traditions of mathematical knowledge. Mathematical skills and processes are central to the development and practice of critical thought and expression. Physics is the science that seeks to employ mathematics to explain the universe and its phenomena. Courses in mathematics and physics at Kentucky State University are designed to integrate theoretical and practical topics.

The Division of Mathematics and Sciences offers a Mathematics degree with three options: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics/ Pre- Engineering, and Mathematics Education. Minors in Mathematics and Physics are also offered.

Incoming students who desire to pursue a mathematics degree option should declare a Pre-Mathematics major. Once a student has completed MAT 120 with a grade of “C” or better, he or she may request in writing to the Division of Mathematics and Sciences to convert to a Mathematics major. Both Pre-Mathematics and Mathematics majors are to be advised by Mathematics advisors.

## Mathematics/ Applied: Pre-Engineering Option

The Mathematics/Applied: Pre-Engineering Option is a five-year course of study. Students in this program attend Kentucky State University for three years of study in the pre-engineering area of their choice, and then transfers to the an engineering granting university such as the University of Kentucky. Upon successful completion of the KSU Math/Applied: Pre-Engineering degree requirements, students are awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics by Kentucky State University. Students are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in their selected field of engineering by the engineering degree granting university after completing that institution's degree requirement.

A total of 120 semester credit hours is required for a major in Applied Mathematics/Pre-Engineering. In addition to the University's Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 in place of MAT 111 and PHY 211 and PHY 212 in place of the natural sciences requirement).

The College of Engineering at the University of Kentucky offers degree programs in the following engineering fields: biosystems, chemical, civil, electrical, mining, and mechanical. The course requirements for these degree programs may be found in the University of Kentucky's official catalogue.

Students interested in engineering should note that, due to possible changes in the engineering Accreditation standards and possible curriculum changes at the University of Kentucky, some courses in the curriculum may change periodically. It is essential that students interested in engineering maintain close contact with the Pre-engineering advisors in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.

Students majoring in the Mathematics/Applied: Pre-Engineering option and taking their liberal studies through Whitney Young College may have to take additional courses at the engineering institution.

===== PAGE 214 =====
## Pure Mathematics Option

For the Pure Mathematics Option, students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Liberal Studies General Core courses must take MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, and PHY 211 in place of the second natural science requirement. Students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Whitney Young Honors courses must take MAT 131, PHY 211, and MAT 304 in place of HON 122 and HON 221. Additional requirements are: MAT 132, 231, 232, 300, 307, 401, 403, 460, MAT 402 or 404; and any four upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty. All required and elective courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. On the basis of placement test scores, students may also be required to complete MAT 115, or MAT 120. Majors in Mathematics are required to complete, as support courses, COS 108, PHY 211 and 212 with a grade of "C" or better in each of these courses. This curriculum requires a minimum of 46 semester credit hours of mathematics and a total of 120 semester credit hours. The comprehensive exit assessment is completion of MAT 460 with a grade of "C" or better.

## Mathematics Education Option

A total of 120 semester credit hours is required for a major in Mathematics Education, which leads to Teacher Certification in grades 8-12. In addition to the University's Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, PHY 211 in place of other natural science requirements) students must complete an additional 33 semester credit hours of mathematics and computer science courses (MAT 132, 231, 300, 307, 312, 321, 326, and 401, and COS 108 and 310); and 36 semester credit hours of professional education courses (EDU 202, 203, 302, 303, 304, 310, 411, 445 and 494).

To learn about the specific admission and course requirements of the Educator Preparation Program in Mathematics Education, interested students should consult the Catalogue section under the School of Education in the College of Professional Studies. Students maintain close contact with the Mathematics Education advisor in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences as well as the faculty in the School of Education.

## Minor in Mathematics

A minor in Mathematics requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include MAT 131, 132, 231; and the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected from upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty.

## Minor in Physics

A minor in Physics requires the completion of at least 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include: PHY 211 and PHY 212. With approval of mathematics/physics area faculty, students may choose any 300-level physics or closely related discipline courses to complete the minor.

## DIVISION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Due to the tremendous growth in the technological sector, the need for graduates with marketable computer skills has grown exponentially. The major goal of the Division of Computer Science is to provide students with the advanced conceptual framework and technical expertise required to succeed in these new ever-changing markets. Computer science students may pursue degrees at the baccalaureate level as well as the master's level. Graduates enjoy abundant career opportunities in professional markets such as business, industry, government, education, the military, and many others. Our programs are still the skills and knowledge to enter or advance in the workforce, and lead our graduates into becoming life-long learners.

## DEGREE PROGRAMS

The computer science program offers courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Gaming, Entertainment, and Simulation, a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science Technology. Students pursuing the bachelor's degree in Computer Science select an option from Computer Information Systems, Game Development, Information Security, or Mathematics. Courses in these options focus on computer programming, hardware organization, systems design and analysis, databases, algorithmic development, computer networks and telecommunications, computer security, network security, data storage, data mining, computer graphics, game design and development, and information processing.

## Baccalaureate Degrees

Students pursuing either bachelor degree study a range of courses designed to prepare them for careers in business and industry as systems designers, system analysts, computer security experts, database or network professionals, or game designers or to prepare them for advanced study in graduate schools. Students will learn skills in programming, systems, information security, databases, game programming, and networking components. The baccalaureate degree program in computer science is modeled in accordance with guidelines established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

## Master's Degree

The Cyberinfrastructure Graduate Program Initiative is a collaborative effort between Kentucky State University and the University of Kentucky, and was designed to enhance our existing master's program. The curriculum is structured to accommodate students whose background may or may not be in computer science. The Initiative seeks to foster innovation and research, and is supported by the National Science Foundation (award #0814194). For further information about the Master of Science in computer Science, please refer to the "Master Program" section of the catalogue.

## SCHOOL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, SOCIAL WORK, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE

## PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

## Bachelor of Arts Degree--Public Administration

The study of Public Administration primarily prepares students for career employment as supervisors, managers, and decision-makers in the public sector, including local, state, and federal government agencies. In addition, graduates with a B.A. in Public Administration may be eligible for employment in similar capacities in the non-profit sector.

Students working toward the Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Administration pursue a curriculum that includes exposure to the substantive approach and insight of different disciplines.

===== PAGE 256 =====
The curriculum includes intensive training in analytical techniques and offers in-depth education in social sciences related to the management of public services.

To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Administration, students must complete a minimum of 120 semester credit hours, including two hours of orientation (UNV 101), the University's Liberal Studies/General Education Requirements (44 semester credit hours including both SOC 200 and PSY 200), and 48 semester credit hours for the major in Public Administration.

Specifically, the major consists of 33 semester credit hours of Public Administration courses (PUA 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 322, 400, 401, 402, 491, and 499), and ENG 216; POS 101, POS 160, ECO 200 or ECO 201, and either POS/PSY/SOC 300 or SOW/CJE 400. The remaining 28 semester credit hours are free electives; of those, at least three hours must be completed at the 300 or 400 levels.

## Minor in Public Administration

The School of Public Administration also offers a minor in Public Administration. This program is available to every student pursuing a baccalaureate degree at Kentucky State University. A minor in Public Administration requires the completion of 18 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include PUA 302, 303, 305, and 402; the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected in consultation with the student's minor advisor from 300/400 level Public Administration courses.

## SOCIAL WORK

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The principal objectives of the Social Work program are to prepare undergraduate students for generalist/entry-level professional social work practice in public and private sectors, and to prepare students for continued professional growth including graduate social work education. The curriculum utilizes class and field instruction to develop and strengthen the processes, values, skills, and knowledge essential for alleviating problems that impair the social functioning of individuals, families, groups, and communities.

To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Work, students must complete a minimum of 120 semester credit hours. The required courses include 45 semester hours of Liberal Study courses, 54 semester credit hours of Social Work courses; 6 semester credit hours of support courses; and 15 semester credit hours of free electives. Students must consult with their advisor to plan the most appropriate sequence of study. The required courses in Social Work are SOW 201, 306, 307, 308, 310, 314, 315, 321, 322, 422, 423, 424, 425, 433, 434; and a GNT elective. Sociology requirements include SOC 203 or 205, and ECO 201.

## Admission Requirements

The minimum criteria for enrollment in Social Work courses are consistent with University policies. Students are eligible for formal admission to the Social Work Program if they are currently enrolled in and in good standing at the University. When declaring Social Work as a major, the student must make formal application for admission into the program.

Students are required to submit a formal application to the program accompanied by two pages of autobiographical information. The application and guidelines for the autobiographical sketch are available in the Division of Social Work and Criminal Justice. Applicants for admission are required to meet the following standards:

- Have completed SOW 201 (Career Choices in the Human Service Professions), SOW 310 (Foundations of Social Work), or its equivalent with a grade of "C" or better;

- Have earned a 2.5 cumulative grade point average or better; and

- Have demonstrated competency in oral communication during an interview with Social Work faculty members.

Applications are reviewed by the Social Work Admissions Committee, and decisions are given to applicants in writing. Transfer students may be admitted under provisions of articulation agreements.

Applicants may be admitted provisionally with a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.5 in cases where the Committee concurs that there is demonstrated potential for academic success. However, minimum requirements for provisional admission include a grade of at least "C" in ENG 101 and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. It is expected that those who are admitted on a provisional basis will attain a 2.2 grade point average by the end of their first semester in the program.

## Dismissal Procedures

Students may be dismissed from the Social Work Program at any time based upon one or both of the following:

===== PAGE 260 =====
• Unsatisfactory academic progress;

- Disciplinary action by the Division against the student because of conduct that would indicate character weaknesses of such nature as to make the student unfit for the Social Work profession.

## Minor in Gerontology

The field of Gerontology combines studies in Sociology, Psychology, Social Work, Education, Medicine, Biology, Physiology, Human Sciences, Health and Physical Education, and Public Administration. The minor in Gerontology is approved by the Association of Gerontology in Higher Education. A minor in Gerontology requires the completion of 21 semester credit hours.

# SCHOOL OF EDUCATION

From its inception as institution in 1886, Kentucky State University has prepared teachers to meet the needs of individual students, schools, districts, and the Commonwealth. The School of Education has kept up with the times and now offers nine Educator Preparation Programs to equip students for careers as certified teachers, as well as two professional programs for students who do not seek teacher certification. Across all of these programs, the faculty and staff of the School of Education foster the knowledge base, practical skills, professional dispositions, and cultural competence needed by future and currently practicing professionals.

The Child Development and Family Studies Program prepares students to work with young children and families in social service and educational settings other than public schools. The Physical Education Program prepares students in exercise science for employment as coaches or trainers or for graduate study in fields related to athletics or health, including physical therapy.

The Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) continue Kentucky State University's proud legacy of preparing professionals to teach all students in kindergarten through grade 12 and to help them meet Kentucky Academic Standards and district student learning outcomes. Each of the nine EPPs is approved by the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB), Kentucky's educational certification body, and each also is certified by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), which has transitioned into the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The EPPs follow:

• Biology Education (grades 8-12)

• Elementary Education (grades kindergarten-5)

• English Education (grades 8-12)

Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (birth-kindergarten)

• Mathematics Education (grades 8-12)

• Music Education (grades kindergarten-12)

• Physical Education (grades kindergraten-12)

• Social Studies Education (grades 8-12)

• Special Education (master program, grades kindergarten-12).

## EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS

Instruction and assessment in the Educator Preparation Programs are aligned with standards that are determined by state and national organizations. These standards include:

Kentucky Framework for Teaching (KFfT, http://education.ky.gov/teachers/PGES/TPGES/Documents/Kentucky%20Framework%20for%20OTeaching.pdf);

• Kentucky Teacher Standards or Kentucky's IECE Standards (http://www.epsb.ky.gov/teacherprep/standards.asp)

- CAEP, which is the accrediting body for educator preparation providers, (http://caepnet.org/standards/introduction);

• 21st Century Skills (http://www.nea.org/home/34888.htm);

===== PAGE 266 =====
• Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP)

http://www.epsb.ky.gov/internships/KTIP 2015-2016 Forms.asp);

• Kentucky Academic Standards

(http://education.ky.gov/curriculum/standards/kyacadstand/Pages/default.aspx)

Professional ethical standards (http://www.epsb.ky.gov/legal/ethics.asp); and

Standards of the learned societies associated with each program (e.g., National Organization for the Education of Young Children for IECE, Council for Exceptional Children for Special Education, National Association of School Musicians for Music Education).

## TEACHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE

The Teacher Education Committee (TEC) provides oversight of all Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) and determines policies and procedures that pertain to the EPPs as well as the School of Education. The Committee is chaired by the Chair of the School of Education. Each EPP provides a representative, partner school district(s) contribute representatives, and all School of Education faculty as well as staff who regularly teach courses are members. Other members represent Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Registration, and Blazer Library. Two teacher candidates are representatives, one being the president of KSU's chapter of the Kentucky Student National Education Association (SNEA) and the other being elected by peers across Educator Preparation Programs. Other members are asked to serve, as needed, in order to enhance the effectiveness and representation of the TEC.

## DEGREE COMPLETION

To earn an undergraduate degree in any area of education, a student admitted to KSU completes designated courses from the Liberal Studies General Core, specific education courses, and 25 hours of verified field experiences in schools before applying for formal admission to the Educator Preparation Program (EPP) that matches the career goal. Once admitted to the EPP, the teacher candidate completes the rest of the Liberal Studies General Core, 175 more hours of field experiences, all educational pedagogy and content courses, and a final clinical practice. This process from entry to exit is organized and assessed according to the following benchmarks:

• Benchmark I: Admission to the University

• Benchmark II: Admission to Educator Preparation Program

• Benchmark III: Admission to Clinical Practice

• Benchmark IV: Program Exit and Recommendation for Licensure

## Benchmark I: Admission to the University

The first step toward a professional career through the School of Education is to apply for admission to Kentucky State University.

• Complete the application form (http://kysu.edu/administration-governance/studentaffairs/admissions/).

Submit the application fee.

Submit official high school or university transcript(s) with a minimum grade point average (GPA) determined by the University.

Submit an ACT/SAT score report with a minimum score determined by the University.

===== PAGE 267 =====
Transfer students should contact the School of Education directly to discuss their previous coursework and field experiences.

## Benchmark II: Admission to an Undergraduate Educator Preparation Program

Students follow a formal process for admission into an Educator Preparation Program. While some requirements are unique to KSU, others are mandated by Kentucky regulation (http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/kar/016/005/020.htm). The EPP that students apply to depend on their career aspirations, as future teachers. Students who plan to work with young children (birth through kindergarten) apply to the IECE EPP (Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education); those who strive to teach children in grades kindergarten through 5 apply to the Elementary EPP; those who aspire to teaching high school students (grades 8 through 12) apply to a secondary EPP in an academic content area (Biology, English, Mathematics, or Social Studies); and those who want to teach a content across all grades (kindergarten through 12) apply to an EPP in Music or Physical Education.

The Teacher Education Committee makes final decisions about admissions to an EPP, incomplete applications are not considered, and there are no provisional admissions to an EPP. The Catalogue of record for a teacher candidate is determined by the date of EPP admission, not the date of admission to the University. Students are encouraged to apply by the deadline, during their sophomore year, so they can proceed with coursework in educational pedagogy and content. Delaying an application will detour a student's progress toward graduation, since EPP admission is a prerequisite for all but three educational pedagogy courses (EDU 202, EDU 203, and EDU 309). Applicants who are denied admission to an EPP may reapply the next semester, if all prerequisites are met.

Students admitted to an EPP who decide to change their program of study to a different certification area must meet all requirements of the newly chosen EPP. Similarly, students admitted to an EPP who leave the university must meet all requirements of the current EPP that are in place at the time of their return. EPP application forms are provided online at http://kysu.edu/academics/college-of-professional-studies/school-of-education/teacher-education/.

Requirements for admission to an undergraduate EPP are delineated below.

• Demonstrate academic achievement, organization, and professionalism through

• complete, electronic, application packet for the appropriate EPP;

• minimum of 42 semester credit hours;

- grade point average (GPA) of either 2.75 cumulative  or 3.0 for the most recent 30 hours;

• minimum grade of C in EDU 202;

• minimum grade of C in EDU 203 or MUE 203 (Music Education only);

• minimum grade of C in CDF 203 and CDF 204 (IECE only);

- minimum of 25 field experience hours, with all data posted in Kentucky Field Tracking System (KFETS) and time verified through documentation signed by mentor teachers; and

- introductory, Phase I electronic portfolio, with artifacts that address Kentucky Teacher Standards.

- Demonstrate knowledge and skills in literacy and numeracy through

- minimum grade of C in ENG 101 and ENG 102 and

- minimum passing scores on the computerized ETS Praxis exam, Core Academic Skills for Educators (CASE), including Reading (5712): 156, Writing (5722): 162, and Mathematics (5732): 150.

===== PAGE 268 =====
- Demonstrate beginning-level skills in written and oral communication, as well as the 21st Century Skills of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (http://www.nea.org/home/34888.htm) through

• well-written, coherent, autobiographical essay;

• impromptu, word-processed response to a writing prompt; and

- semi-structured, individual interview.

- Provide completed assessments from two educational professionals, such as the academic advisor, a university instructor with whom the applicant has completed a course, or a P-12 teacher with whom the applicant has completed field experiences.

## Benchmark III: Admission to Student Teaching

Like admission to an Educator Preparation Program, admission to student teaching follows specific policies and procedures. Students apply for admission to student teaching by the deadline of the semester immediately prior to the semester in which they wish to student teach (i.e., spring deadline for fall admission, fall deadline for spring admission). Admission has many required criteria, and students are encouraged to begin the process well before the deadline. The Teacher Education Committee makes final decisions about admissions, incomplete applications are not considered, and there are no provisional admissions. Applicants who are denied admission to student teaching may reapply the next semester, if all prerequisites are met. By the time candidates are ready to apply for student teaching, they are very familiar with educational standards, and thus the process is aligned with the Kentucky Framework for Teaching, along with new teachers in the Commonwealth are assessed in their internship year (Kentucky Teacher Internship Program; KTIP). Requirements for admission to student teaching are below.

- Demonstrate organization and professionalism [Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities].

- a complete, electronic, application packet to student teaching;

- a minimum of 200 field experience hours, with all data posted in Kentucky Field Tracking System (KFETS), and time verified through documentation signed by mentor teachers:

- a current, clear criminal record verified by both a state-level and a national-level criminal background check, which is obtained through the district in which the applicant wants to student teach;

- a current physical exam report, including a TB skin test (or x-ray);

• verified liability insurance through the Kentucky Student National Education Association (SNEA).

- Demonstrate content and pedagogical knowledge through academic achievement [Domain 1: Planning and Preparation, Domain 2: Classroom Environment, and Domain 3: Instruction].

• cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 at the end of the semester prior to the semester of student teaching;

- all courses passed in the Liberal Studies General Core;

• all courses passed in educational pedagogy and content, with grades of C or above;

- competent Phase II electronic portfolio aligned with Kentucky Teacher Standards or Kentucky Framework for Teaching.

- official score report that verifies passing scores on all ETS Praxis II exams required by

===== PAGE 269 =====
the EPP and Kentucky's Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB;  http://www.ets.org/praxis/ky/requirements).

- Provide completed assessments from two educational professionals, such as the academic advisor, a university instructor with whom the applicant has completed a course, or a P-12 teacher with whom the applicant has completed field experiences [all four Domains].

Note: Student teaching is a demanding and strongly supported 70 school days of fully engaged, unpaid teaching in P-12 schools. Candidates may not be employed during the hours of student teaching (including before and after school day planning and meetings) or by a school in which they student teach. In view of the reality that student teachers are fully responsible for their own food, lodging, transportation, incidentals, etc., they are encouraged to think and plan ahead financially for their semester of student teaching.

## Benchmark IV: Program Completion

In order to finish an Educator Preparation Program and graduate with an undergraduate degree, the teacher candidate must demonstrate all four domains of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching (KFfT), at the “beginning” level.

- Demonstrate organization and professionalism [Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities]

• Complete and submit the proper forms and fees for graduation and licensure.

- Demonstrate content and pedagogical knowledge through academic achievement [Domain 1: Planning and Preparation, Domain 2: Classroom Environment, and Domain 3: Instruction]

○ Complete the entire student teaching experience, with KFfT domain scores of 2 (beginning level) on all major assessments.

Earn a final cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher, at the end of the final semester.

Submit a competent, Phase III, electronic portfolio aligned with Kentucky Teacher Standards or Kentucky Framework for Teaching, with all needed documents posted, as evidence.

Note: Sometimes the Teacher Education Committee must make policy or procedural changes between catalogue publications, in order to meet legal or accreditation mandates or to address student or program needs. These changes may supersede what is written in a student's Catalogue of record. If this happens, students must discus their individual situations with their advisors to determine the best path for them to meet the requirements of their next benchmark.

## ETS PRAXIS EXAMINATIONS

The Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) requires all students enrolled in educator preparation programs in the Commonwealth to pass specific Praxis examinations published by the Educational Testing Service (ETS; http://www.ets.org) for (1) educator program admission and (2) teacher certification. In order to reach Benchmark II: Admission to an Undergraduate Educator Preparation Program (EPP), students must pass a computerized

===== PAGE 270 =====
Praxis exam, Core Academic Skills for Educators (CASE), including scores on three subtests: Reading (5712), 156; Writing (5722), 162; and Mathematics (5732), 150. Students are strongly encouraged to take this exam with plenty of time for one or more re-takes, if needed, so they will stay on track in their programs.

Later, to reach Benchmark III: Admission to Student Teaching, students must pass the ETS Praxis II exams that are required by their EPPs, as dictated by EPSB. Since these can change, students must check online at http://www.ets.org/praxis/ky/requirements to affirm which tests they need to take for certification in Kentucky. It is important for students to understand that, to complete an EPP, they must meet all requirements for Kentucky certification in their programs, whether they plan to teach inside or outside the Commonwealth, to teach in a public or private school, or even not to teach at all.

## FIELD EXPERIENCES

In order to prepare graduates for the real world of teaching, the School of Education provides multiple opportunities for teacher candidates to practice what they learn through their coursework through field experiences in a variety of public and private school settings. In contrast to universities that provide one or two field courses, the Educator Preparation Programs imbed field experiences throughout their curricula, starting with the introductory course. Before beginning field experiences each academic year, candidates must submit clear state-level criminal reports each academic year, which they must obtain themselves, through the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts (http://courts.ky.gov/aoc/Pages/default.aspx).

Field experiences are organized by the School of Education; candidates do not set up their own. In addition, course instructors provide support and structure by providing assignments for candidates to complete in schools. Candidates must enter data pertaining to all field experiences in the Kentucky Field Experiences Tracking System (KFETS). As mandated by the Education Professional Standards Board, (EPSB), all candidates must complete a minimum of 200 hours of field experiences for Benchmark III: Admission to Student Teaching.

## DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Students seeking teacher certification in most states, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky, must select the age/grade level which they wish to teach. KSU offers nine Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs), four of which are housed in the School of Education and five of which involve collaboration with departments in other divisions. Candidates in all EPPs must reach the same four Benchmarks to complete their programs, as described previously.

# SCHOOL OF NURSING

The School of Nursing offers the Associate in Applied Science (ADN), the LPN-RN Bridge and the RN-BSN Completion programs in Nursing. The ADN program is approved by the Kentucky Board of Nursing (KBN) (312 Whittington Parkway, Suite 300, Louisville, KY 40222; 502-429-3300). Upon successful completion of the ADN program and successful completion of the National Council Licensure Examination – RN, graduates qualify to practice as licensed registered nurses. The ADN and the RN-BSN programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), 3343 Peachtree Rd NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, 404-975-5000.

## ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE IN NURSING (ADN)

The ADN curriculum is divided into liberal studies, support, and Nursing components. The liberal studies and support course components comprise approximately one-half of the total semester credit hours and focus on the development of critical skills in English composition and mathematics and on the acquisition of basic knowledge in the biological, behavioral, and social sciences. The Nursing component concentrates on nursing concepts and clinical practice.

To satisfy the graduation requirements for the Associate in Applied Science degree in Nursing, a student must complete a minimum of 68 semester credit hours with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better, complete a Comprehensive Nursing Review, and obtain a satisfactory score on a comprehensive predictor examination. The required Nursing courses are NUR 111, 112, 211, 212, and 213. The required liberal studies and support courses are BIO 107, 108, and 204; ENG 101 and 102; CHE 209; MAT 115; PSY 200 and 303; SOC 203. Students may fulfill general studies requirements of ENG 101/102 or by choosing the WYS Honors component of HON 143, HON 144, and either HON 211/213 or HON 212/214. Students must receive a grade of "B" or better in all required courses in the curriculum. Oral communication competency is fulfilled through the completion of Nursing classroom activities, on-campus Nursing laboratory experiences, and clinical assignments, emphasizing the use of verbal and nonverbal communication skills.

The School of Nursing is responsible for all components of the program, including the selection, supervision, and evaluation of Nursing students, and the curriculum—both didactic and clinical. The Nursing curriculum ladder is the recommended sequence of liberal studies, support, and Nursing courses. This ladder applies only to students who are directly admitted into the day program (full-time) and who successfully complete all required courses in the curriculum in two years.

The School of Nursing has developed flexible course schedules for students who must work while pursuing a nursing degree. Students may obtain a degree in nursing by enrolling on a full time or part-time basis and by attending classes in the daytime or the evening, whichever meets their individual needs. Students taking evening classes may be required to attend classes that begin prior to the traditional “5:00 P.M. evening” hour.

Students attending evening classes can expect to be enrolled for a minimum of three academic years and must complete all support and liberal studies courses in the curriculum (BIO 107, 108, and 204; ENG 101 and 102 or the WYS Honors component; CHE 209; MAT

In addition, the applicant must take the Nursing Acceleration Challenge Exam (ACE) I and receive a Decision Score of 70 or better (Total Percentage of Questions Answered correctly). This test may be retaken one time. Failure to receive a Decision Score of 70 or better results in the applicant being required to enroll in Nursing 112 if space is available. The School of Nursing must have the Decision Score by April 1. Once the Decision Score of 70 is obtained, the applicant will be required to perform a skills test which includes vital signs, administering oral and parenteral medications, Foley catheter insertion, sterile dressing change, insertion of a nasogastric tube, and colostomy care. This must be completed by May 1. Failure of the skills test will require the student to enroll in Nursing 112 if space is available. Successful completion of the skills exam allows the student to be eligible for NUR 103.

The application deadline is March 1. Further information may be obtained from the School of Nursing, 2nd Floor Betty White Health Center (502) 597-5957.

## BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (RN-to-BSN) COMPLETION PROGRAM

The RN-to-BSN completion program is designed to allow associate degree registered nurses to continue their education to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. To allow the maximum flexibility to students, the nursing courses are divided into eight week blocks allowing students to take fewer classes at one time, yet taking a full load for the semester.

The curriculum is divided into liberal studies courses and nursing courses. The liberal studies requirement may be met through the traditional liberal studies core or through the WYS Honors Nursing Core. The liberal studies courses make up 27 credit hours of the program. Nursing courses comprise 35 credit hours of the RN-to-BSN curriculum. The total credit hours in the RN-to-BSN completion program (62 credit hours) will be added to the total credit hours transferred from the student's associate degree nursing program. The student must have a minimum of 120 degree hours in order to graduate with a BSN degree from Kentucky State University.

The courses required in the RN-to-BSN program are:

Liberal studies courses: ART 130, MUS 130, or THE 130, ENG 211, foreign language (6 credit hours of the same language), IGS 200, and SPE 103, and a free elective (3 credit hours); or the “WYS Honors Nursing Core” designed for nursing students who would fulfill their general education requirement through an honors track, offers a package of integrated interdisciplinary courses that requires fewer credit hours (24) than the regular general education core (29). The curriculum consists of liberal studies seminars (HON 101, 102, 201) and language courses (HON 141, 142, and either 211/213 or 212/214) and HED 221 or PHE (2 hours).

Additional program core courses: BIO 204, PSY 300, PSY 303; and either FNU 104 or CHE 209 (depending on which course was required within their program of nursing.)

Nursing courses: NUR 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, and 426. Students must achieve a letter grade of “C” or better in all courses in order to remain in the program.

Transfer Credit: ADN Major Core credit of 35 credits and ADN General Core credit of 23 credits.

RN-BSN students may enroll either part-time or full-time and will begin the program in the fall semester. The liberal studies courses may be taken at any time during the program. The nursing courses offered in eight week sessions do not have to be taken in sequence, with the exception of NUR 321 and NUR 426. NUR 321 is offered in the first eight weeks and the student must take this course when they take the first nursing course. NUR 426 is offered in the last eight weeks and the student will be required to take this class with the last nursing course. Students are expected to graduate from the RN-BSN Completion program within a 5-year period. Students must meet the rising Junior Assessment requirement.

## Admission Requirements

In order to be admitted to the RN-BSN program the applicant must:

• Be a graduate of an accredited associate degree nursing program or a diploma

===== PAGE 290 =====
program.*

Be admitted to the University and submit an application to the School of Nursing. (Official transcript[s] must be sent to the University and to the School of Nursing.)

• Have a GPA of 2.0 or better.

Submit a copy of a current license to practice nursing in the state of Kentucky. Registered nurses with a license that has been limited, suspended, or revoked are not eligible for admission.

- Have a CPR for the Healthcare Provider certification through the American Heart Association. Each student must keep a current CPR card on file in the School of Nursing.*Nurses graduating from a diploma nursing program will be awarded 35 credits in nursing after successfully completing 14 hours of upper level (300/400) nursing courses.

## Observational Learning Experiences

NUR 326 and NUR 424 require observational learning experiences. The student will develop objectives based on the learning outcomes of the course. The observational experience and the objectives must be approved by the instructor. In order to do the observational learning experiences, the student may be required to have additional immunizations as required by the institution in which the student is observing:

A current TB skin test (within 1 year).

Immunizations, criminal background check, and a copy of Professional Liability Insurance (Professional Liability Insurance is a part of student fees) as required by the institution in which the student is utilizing as a practicum.

A name badge which identifies the student as a RN-BSN student at Kentucky State University.

RN-BSN students pay the same general fees and tuition as do other students at the University. Students in the RN-BSN program, however, incur additional expenses for name badge, liability insurance, and travel fees.

## Variance to University Policy on Credit Hours

Since the RN-BSN completion program is a transfer (second-degree) program, RN-BSN students are not required to complete the requisite 45 credit hours of upper-division courses. All RN-BSN students must complete at least 35 credit hours of upper-division nursing courses.

## ADN Graduates with a Baccalaureate or a Graduate Degree Outside of Nursing

ADN applicants for the RN-BSN Completion program, who have a Bachelor's/Master's degree outside nursing from a regionally accredited institution, are required to complete only the 35 hours of upper division nursing courses and a 200 level IGS course. This allows the student to meet the residency requirements for graduation as stipulated in the Catalogue. The Rising Junior is not required.

# WHITNEY YOUNG SCHOOL OF HONORS AND LIBERAL STUDIES

A paramount function of education is the preparation of individuals to relate themselves comfortably to their fellow men. As long as people existed in a world where they were born, where they lived, and died in one little hamlet, never venturing more than ten miles from home, this preparation was unnecessary. But today, in an era of great mobility and interchange, of increasing contact with people of different colors, beliefs, and backgrounds, it is imperative to so educate our children.

—Whitney M. Young, Jr.

The Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies—which houses Kentucky State University’s Honors program, the Integrative Studies program, and the Institute for Liberal Studies and offers degrees in liberal studies—reflects the University’s commitment to excellence in liberal studies education. The School is named after the late Whitney M. Young, Jr., executive director of the National Urban League from 1961 to 1971, distinguished leader of the American civil rights movement, and a graduate of Kentucky State University. The Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies aims, through its special curriculum, to develop in its students the qualities of critical intelligence, maturity, and leadership exemplified by Mr. Young. It currently has links in the College of Arts and Sciences.

## ENDOWED CHAIR

An endowed chair is one of the most prestigious academic appointments a university can make. The creation of such a position indicates the maturity of an institution and demonstrates its commitment to scholarly activities and academic excellence. Kentucky State University established the Endowed Chair in the Humanities as a major component in the University's liberal studies emphasis. Through its placement in the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy, the Endowed Chair helps bring a central focus to Kentucky State University's mission to be the Commonwealth's unique, small, liberal studies institution. The functions of the Endowed Chair at the University are to develop and to implement innovative and comprehensive programs of liberal studies.

## HONORS PROGRAM

The Honors Program is an integrated liberal arts program that emphasizes student discussion of excellent books. The freshman and sophomore courses permit students to complete their University liberal studies requirements through the Honors Program. The junior and senior courses allow students to major or minor in Liberal Studies.

The curriculum in the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies is unique; there is no other quite like it in any public university in the nation. The Director of the National Endowment for the Humanities designated the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies as one of the five most innovative and promising liberal studies programs in the nation. It is one of twenty-three honors programs in the United States listed as an honor college by the National Collegiate Honors Council and has the second largest number of faculty among these honors colleges. The Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies is committed to offering a stimulating, high quality, rigorous undergraduate education in liberal studies, preparing students for professional study in law, medicine, the ministry, or graduate school. Graduates of this program have gone on into education, business, computer science, law, and many other fields. Beyond questions of education for a career, the Whitney Young

===== PAGE 297 =====
School of Honors and Liberal Studies program develops skills of thinking and imagining that will help students deal with the fundamental questions of human existence, regardless of their career goals.

Thus, in the common course of studies required of all students, the emphasis is on the careful reading and discussion of many of the most important books in literature, history, philosophy, theology, mathematics, and sciences. Classes are small. Students learn to read critically, to speak precisely, to write effectively, and to listen attentively by being required to use some or all of these skills daily. The curriculum is designed not only to help students know, but to help them develop the skills they will need as they take their places in the adult world and in the worlds of the various professions. The honors faculty, housed in the Whitney Young School, are hired and evaluated specifically for their demonstrated ability to teach in a great books curriculum that crosses traditional academic boundaries.

While the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies is related to other “great books” programs throughout the country in its basic orientation, the curriculum at Kentucky State University is not a pale copy of ideas developed at private universities. The courses and curriculum in the School have been developed and adapted to take advantage of the particular conditions at Kentucky State University, and this development is an ongoing process. Class size ranges from 10 to 15 in honors courses.

Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies students take part in all activities of the University, such as social and academic clubs, student government, choir, band, and intramural/intercollegiate athletics. Students have an opportunity to put the leadership skills that they learn in classes to practical use by serving on the Whitney Young Student Council. The Council was originally created by student initiative and organizes service and social events and acts as a forum for student suggestions and concerns.

The Honors Program offers an entire liberal studies core for freshmen and sophomores. Students who complete the honors core may opt for an honors associate of arts in liberal studies degree. The Honors Program also offers an honors bachelor of liberal studies degree and liberal studies minor.

## HONORS CORE

Students who take the honors core pursue a sequence of freshman and sophomore courses in the School to fulfill in an alternative and briefer way the University's liberal studies requirements. The honors core is open to qualified students of all majors. Depending on their major, honors students will fulfill all or most of their liberal studies requirements in the honors core.

## Honors Core for Most Majors

Students in majors other than natural science, engineering, mathematics, and nursing by virtue of taking the entire honors core (48 semester credit hours) fulfill all liberal studies requirements.

===== PAGE 298 =====
## Honors Core for Science and Mathematics Majors

Engineering and Natural Science majors, with the exception of Biology or Biology Education majors, complete only the seminars and language classes; the Math/ Science component of the core is fulfilled by courses from the Division of Mathematics and Sciences. Biology and Biology Education majors also fulfill their math and science core requirements through the Division of Mathematics and Sciences and must successfully complete HON 222. Pure Mathematics majors and Computer Science majors (Mathematics Option) may substitute HON 122 and 221 with courses in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences. Curriculum ladders for students completing the honors core are not listed in this Catalogue, but are available from advisors in the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies.

## Honors Nursing Core

The “WYS Honors Nursing Core” is designed for committed nursing students who would fulfill their general education requirement through an honors track. It offers challenging courses, excellent instructors, and small classes all in a package of integrated interdisciplinary courses that requires fewer credit hours than the regular general education core. For the nursing students pursuing both an Associates in Applied Science in Nursing degree and the RN-BSN degree, that student can fulfill RN-BSN general studies requirements and general studies requirements of ENG 101/102 by virtue of taking liberal studies seminars (HON 101, 102, 201) and language courses (HON 141, 142, 143, 144, 211, 212, 213, and 214). For nursing students pursuing simply the RN-BSN degree, the curriculum consists of liberal studies seminars (HON 101, 102, 201) and language courses (HON 141, 142, and either 211/213 or 212/214).

## Teacher Education Program

Students seeking teacher certification who successfully complete the 48-semester-credit-hour honors core through the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies also fulfill the University's Liberal Studies Requirement for all Teacher Education Certification programs. It should be noted that in addition to the 48-semester-credit-hour honors core, students seeking teacher certification must also enroll in HED 221 (Personal Health and Lifetime Fitness) to complete all requirements as outlined and approved by the Kentucky Department of Education. All other courses for certification will be taken through the School of Education of the College of Professional Studies, as outlined in the major program. The 48-semester-credit-hour honors core fulfills the University's Liberal Studies Requirements for all the Teacher Education Certification programs. Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies students participating in the Teacher Education Program have advisors in both the School of Honors and the School of Education to ensure that they take appropriate electives and develop an integrated and cohesive program of study.

===== PAGE 300 =====
## HONORS CORE CURRICULUM

## The First Year

Liberal Studies Seminars I and II, HON 101 and 102, 4 semester credit hours each semester, make up the central course in the first year of studies. During a portion of the fall semester, students focus on the history of the ancient world from the dawn of civilization in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the classical periods of Greece and China. During a portion of the spring semester, students focus on the history of ancient Rome, India, and the medieval period of the Christian and Islamic worlds. The remainder of each semester is devoted to classroom discussion of excellent books from each period, as well as of European and African art. The instructor keeps the discussion focused, but the emphasis is always on student participation.

The First Year Language classes have two components:

1) HON 131 and 132 or HON 141 and 142—

3 semester credit hours each semester—offer instruction in the elements of the grammar of Greek or Latin with particular application to translation; and

2) HON 143 and 144—1 semester credit hour each semester—are the English writing component, emphasizing composition and rhetoric.

The Mathematics-Science classes, HON 121 and 122—4 semester credit hours each semester—begin with the first great work in mathematics, Euclid's Elements, and continues with the study of other major works in the history of mathematics, astronomy, physics, and the philosophy of science.

Electives—3–6 semester credit hours each semester—can be used for courses in such fields as Business, Computer Science, or English, or to begin a professional sequence of courses for areas such as engineering, medicine, dentistry, or law.

## The Sophomore Year

Liberal Studies Seminars III and IV, HON 201 and 202—3 semester credit hours each semester—are a continuation of the first year seminars. A portion of the fall semester is devoted to the study of history from the Renaissance to the American Revolution. A portion of the spring semester is devoted to the study of modern history beginning with the French Revolution. The remainder of each semester is devoted to classroom discussion of excellent books from each period. Again, the emphasis is always on student participation.

The Sophomore Language classes, HON 211 and 212—4 semester credit hours each semester—deal with the history of English literature and the English language. The work of the first semester focuses on narrative literature from medieval English epics to modern African-American novels. The second semester focuses on lyric poetry from England, America, and other parts of the English-speaking world. The course content is some of the finest literature in the English language. Attention is also paid to the quality of student writing in HON 213 and 214—2 semester-credit hours each.

The Mathematics/Science classes, HON 221 and 222—4 semester credit hours each semester—are a continuation of the first year Mathematics/Science sequence. The fall semester focuses on the development of physics from Newton to quantum theory and

===== PAGE 301 =====
Einstein’s theory of relativity. The spring semester focuses on readings pertaining to the biological theory of evolution. Special attention is given to the writings of Darwin and to the discoveries of the genetic code in DNA.

Electives—3–6 semester credit hours each semester—may be used for in a variety of fields. LST courses offered as electives are: LST 241 and 242—3 semester credit hours each; LST 251 and 252—3 semester credit hours each; LST 351—3 semester credit hours; LST 352—3 semester credit hours; or any LST preceptorial (LST 331, 332, 431, or 432)—3 semester credit hours each.

## HONORS LIBERAL STUDIES DEGREES

Students who complete the honors core can opt for an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies (honors option). Students who major in Liberal Studies, who earn at least 120 semester credit hours, who successfully complete 30 semester credit hours in required LST courses or approved liberal studies electives (with a grade of “C” or better) in their junior and senior years, who pass the Senior Comprehensive Examination, and who meet all other University requirements will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies (Honors option). Alternatively, students can pursue a minor in liberal studies. Details of the requirements for the major and minor in liberal studies can be found below in the Liberal Studies Degrees section.

## PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

KSU graduates applying to professional schools have the advantage of coming from an institution that emphasizes the liberal studies foundation in addition to specialized training. It is very important for students contemplating graduate school to continue their pursuit of liberal studies into the junior and senior years with the goal of achieving a liberal studies major or minor, even in conjunction with a specialized major. Among the selection criteria mentioned by the UK medical school is the following (1997–1998 University of Kentucky Bulletin):

“Often the physician’s ability to communicate effectively will determine the degree of success in the diagnosis and management of a patient’s health....Thus, consideration is given to the communication skills demonstrated by each applicant. Communication is a two-way process and involves the ability to listen perceptively, as well as to speak and write clearly.”

Regarding “Pre-legal Study,” the UK Law School has written that legal education “is not a technical or scientific training that builds upon a specific preparation in basic techniques and knowledge acquired in undergraduate school.” Rather, legal education requires that students come having developed three fundamental capacities:

- “a thorough preparation in the use of language”;

• “a comprehensive, exploratory undergraduate experience”; and

- the completion of a degree program in which the student will learn “to think clearly, form sound study habits, and have the opportunity to master the methodology and knowledge of a particular field under the guidance of experienced instructors.”

These are precisely the skills developed by a liberal studies major or minor.

Many Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies students plan careers in a preprofessional program. Each of these students benefits from an advisor in the Honors School

===== PAGE 302 =====
and in the pre-professional program. Many pre-medical students remain in the college to complete a major in liberal studies. Students majoring in Business, Biology, and Education can complete a minor in Liberal studies in four years. Liberal Studies curricula for pre-law students are listed in the following pages. Engineering students, who finish their final two years at another university, are often able to complete both an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies and a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics from Kentucky State University, and the engineering degree from the cooperating university.

## LIBERAL STUDIES

In addition to the honors core, the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies serves the University's liberal studies mission by offering major and minors, by housing the Integrative Studies program for the general core, and by the support activities of the Institute for Liberal Studies.

## LIBERAL STUDIES DEGREES AND MINORS

Courses taken in study-abroad programs may be used to satisfy course requirements at the discretion of the School faculty.

## Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (Honors Option)

Students may pursue the Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies (Honors Option) having taken either the general liberal studies core or the honors core. The Liberal Studies major is often used as a preparation for law school, graduate school, or a business training program. Students may double major, combining a major in Liberal Studies with a major in some other field (such as Psychology or English).

Students pursuing the honors option Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies must satisfy the following requirements. They must complete a minimum of 120 semester credit hours, including a mandatory minor or second major, and the required courses in the major. The required courses are LST 301, 302, 311, 401, 421, and the Senior Essay—LST 441—which may represent any discipline and is the basis for the Comprehensive Examination. In addition, three semester credit hours must be selected from LST 241, 242, 251, 252, 331, 332, 351, 352, 431, 432, or 491. The remaining 6 credit hours may be selected from LST 241, 242, 251, 252, or any LST 300- or 400-level course, or from the acceptable liberal studies electives listed below. (LST 491 may be taken twice, and LST preceptorials covering differing topics may be taken twice or more.) Care must be taken to ensure that, together with the required minor (or second major), 42 credit hours of upper division courses are completed in accordance with rule IV.G of the Academic Regulations and Policies.

===== PAGE 303 =====
## Liberal Studies Electives Acceptable Toward a Major or Minor in the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies

## Liberal Studies Pre-Law Curriculum

The Association of American Law Schools defines Pre-legal Education as follows: “Shortly stated, what the law schools seek in their entering students is not accomplishment in mere memorization but accomplishment in understanding, the capacity to think for themselves, and the ability to express their thoughts with clarity and focus.”

Although pre-law students can gain adequate preparation for law school with any strong major, they have found the liberal studies major especially valuable. A major in Liberal Studies provides excellent preparation for law school.

## Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (Student-Designed Option)

Through the Whitney Young School, it is possible to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree following a specially-designed, individualized curriculum. A student-designed liberal studies curriculum permits a student to pursue a course of study that combines related subjects from different disciplines for the sake of some specific approved educational or career goal. The student-designed curriculum option is intended to serve students with special academic needs while maintaining a level of coherence and integrity in the course of study.

A student pursuing this degree must complete the University’s Liberal Studies Requirements (or their equivalent through the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies). By the end of the first semester of his or her junior year, the student should petition for permission to follow a student-designed curriculum. The student needs a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to be eligible to petition for the degree. The general University requirement for a minimum of 121 semester credit hours for the Bachelor of Arts degree must be met. This petition will define and justify an interdisciplinary course of study. The petition must show specifically how the proposed course of study meets the student’s academic goals, how those goals cannot be met by any traditional major at KSU, and how the proposed course of studies constitutes a coherently related set of courses that is the equivalent of a major. In addition, the petition must list the courses that make up the student-designed major; in effect, this would become the curriculum ladder for that major.

The student will submit this petition to his or her mentor or advisor, who will collaborate with the student in refining the proposal. The mentor or advisor will send the petition and his or her recommendation to the director of the Whitney Young School, who will transmit the petition and his or her recommendation to the dean of the College. The dean will transmit the petition and his or her recommendation to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The proposal will not be an approved course of study until it has the written approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

## Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (General Studies Option)

The General Studies Option of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree is a complete degree that provides an alternative four-year program for students who seek to return or come to KSU in order to complete an undergraduate education without the academic specialization involved in traditional major programs. This degree program allows reasonable latitude to satisfy individual interests and needs, including those of non-traditional students, while still adhering to the rigorous university standards for baccalaureate degrees. It operates in the spirit of the

===== PAGE 305 =====
liberal studies mission of the University. In lieu of the major/minor required by traditional degree programs, the student must complete one of these broad areas of concentration: arts, humanities, social and behavioral science, natural science, business, education, technology, health, or professional studies.

Since this is a completer degree, the student must have 90 semester credit hours and must have been enrolled in no classes at KSU for two semesters prior to the semester in which the student enrolls in this program. The student declaring this major should go to the director of the Whitney Young School to be assigned an advisor who will work with the student to define the area of concentration and the appropriate advised electives.

## Minimum Academic Requirements:

41 semester-credit hours of the General Education Core

12 semester-credit hours in the Integrative Studies subject to transfer-student policy

42 semester-credit hours of concentration

15 semester-credit hours of advised electives

 10 semester-credit hours of free electives

120 total college-level undergraduate semester hours (of which 42 semester-credit hours must be in upper-level [300–400] courses)

Grade-point average of at least 2.0 overall.

Grade of “C” or better in all concentration courses and advised elective courses.

## Minor in Liberal Studies

Students may pursue a minor in Liberal Studies having taken either the general liberal studies or honors core. A minor in Liberal Studies requires the completion of 18 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include three courses selected from LST 301, 302, 311, 401, and 421; any LST course or any course from the list of approved electives above(which may be in the student's major); and remaining credit hours from any LST course(s).

Study-abroad program courses may be used to satisfy LST course requirements at the discretion of the School faculty.

## Minor in International Studies

Students at Kentucky State University must be prepared to participate and compete in our increasingly globally connected world. Thus, they need to be exposed to an international curriculum that enables them to interact in, understand and appreciate cultures other than their own.

In view of the above, Kentucky State University offers a minor program in International Studies. A minor in International Studies requires the completion of 18 semester credit hours.

## WHITNEY YOUNG AFRICANA STUDIES MAJOR

“Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.” ~W.E.B. DuBois

The Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies (ASP) offers an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach to understanding and analyzing the contributions, concerns and conditions of African

===== PAGE 307 =====
and African-diasporic peoples. Housed in the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies, the Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies at Kentucky State University reinforces the liberal studies mission of the University while promoting the contribution of African and African-descendant peoples and civilizations across the globe. Africana Studies is the intellectual inquiry and study of people of African descent.

The discipline of Africana Studies increases respect for humanities education as students strengthen their insight into the connectedness of the human experience while accepting responsibility as stewards of their own legacy. Additionally, students learn to identify historic and contemporary trends that characterize disadvantaged communities, create disparity and dictate policy. This goal is achieved through self-assessment instruction and practical application via participation in local, national and international field experiences in diasporic and/or underserved communities. This undergraduate interdisciplinary degree prepares students for graduate and professional studies and relevant employment opportunities in government, especially in the State Department foreign and domestic missions or in industry as human resource and diversity specialists.

The program’s curricular body of knowledge supports an interdisciplinary approach to the concepts of diasporic, critical race and social theories. To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Africana Studies, a student must complete 120 credit hours. The required courses are ASP 101, 102, 201, 202, 301, 302, 305, 306, 466, and 499. Students are also required to complete ASP 488 (Field Work, Internship or Study Abroad). Students in consultation with his/her advisor will select the best option and opportunity to complete this requirement. Additional required courses include SPE 302, HIS 365 or 366, SOC 304, ENG 409, POS 462 or PUA 304 and fulfillment of the university general education requirements.

## INTEGRATIVE STUDIES

Integrative Studies is a basic component of the Liberal Studies Requirements. As part of the Whitney Young School, IGS offers students and faculty not in the honors program an opportunity to participate in a unique “great books” style of education. It elicits from faculty and students a commitment to analyze and interpret a body of knowledge that links the perennial questions of human life with the greatest works of history, literature, art, philosophy, and the sciences. It challenges faculty and students to view learning as an integrative process and to explore themes which cut across the boundaries of cultures, historical periods, and traditional academic disciplines. IGS courses are designed to supplement and complement – not replicate – the discipline-specific offering of other departments.

Integrative Studies emphasizes critical and analytical ability in dealing with events, individuals, ideas, artifacts, and texts that have contributed to human achievements. The program consists of seven seminars, three of which are required of all baccalaureate degree-seeking students not enrolled in the Honors Core. Three of these courses (IGS 200, 201, and 300) are organized as a sequence, giving students the opportunity to encounter a variety of cultural and intellectual perspectives. The sequence begins with ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, and Greece and extends to the 20th century. An additional IGS course may be selected by the student from courses exploring specific world cultures (IGS 301, 302, 303, or 304). In addition to those required courses, Integrative Studies also offers a Senior

===== PAGE 308 =====
Seminar (IGS 499) for students who are interested in exploring a specific theme. The program became an integral part of the curriculum in the fall of 1983. Faculty from all disciplines are invited to participate. Completion of ENG 101 with a grade of "C" or better is a prerequisite for all IGS courses.

## INSTITUTE FOR LIBERAL STUDIES

The Institute for Liberal Studies provides leadership in the continuous development and implementation of a comprehensive program in liberal studies. It seeks to enhance the mission of the University through academic and scholarly activities, focusing on the intellectual enrichment of faculty and students.

The numerous functions of the Institute for Liberal Studies include the production of an annual interdisciplinary conference attracting scholars from all over the nation and the world. The Institute publishes selected lectures which are made available to a broad readership that participates in the ongoing national debate on liberal studies. Finally, the Institute sponsors a summer institute designed to improve teaching in liberal studies areas. The Institute for Liberal Studies was created to provide opportunities for developing activities which are of direct interest to the interdisciplinary community of scholars at Kentucky State University, in the nation, and worldwide.
