Dear Students, Parents and Friends, Welcome to the University of Kentucky! This is an exciting time, filled with great expectations. You are here to explore all that the University of Kentucky has to offer from great degree programs taught by world-class professors to the richness of our co-curricular experiences, ranging from interesting and intriguing speakers, student clubs and organizations, cultural events and athletics. One new initiative we are thrilled about for this coming year is the UK Core, our new General Education Program. This is the core educational experience for all students at the University of Kentucky. It is the centerpiece of our educational efforts and was designed to offer our students active learning experiences that will become the foundation of their professional and academic careers. The UK Core offers courses in ten areas: Intellectual Inquiry in Arts and Creativity are “hands-on” courses which allow students to engage actively with the creative process. Students will define and distinguish different approaches to “creativity,” demonstrate the ability to critically analyze work produced by other students, and evaluate results of their own creative endeavors. In general education, a focus on creativity adds to the vitality and relevance of learning and will translate into graduates who are better prepared to face the challenges of a dynamic society. Courses in Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities develop students’ skills in interpretation and analysis of creations of the human intellect such as art and literature (including folklore, popular culture, film and digital media), philosophical and religious contemplation and argumentation, language systems, and historical narratives. In these courses, students gain the ability not only to analyze the works themselves but to evaluate competing interpretations of such works. Courses in Intellectual Inquiry in the Social Sciences promote an understanding of the relationships between individuals and society and how scholars have come to understand these relationships using conceptual models and processes of inquiry. Through a discipline-based study of social problems or themes, students will learn to critically evaluate the variety of social situations with which they may be confronted in their everyday lives. Courses in Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical Sciences engage students in the fundamental processes of science through the exploration of an area in science. Students will be expected to use their knowledge of scientific concepts to formulate predictions, collect and analyze data, and construct explanations for the questions posed.

In Composition and Communication I, students are introduced to the process of writing, speaking, and visually representing their own ideas and the ideas of others; they also practice basic interpersonal communication skills and the ability to communicate with multiple audiences. In Composition and Communication II, students research public controversies and work in teams to analyze and argue for a solution to these controversies in oral, written, and visual/digital forms for multiple audiences. Courses in Quantitative Foundations are concerned with the application of mathematical concepts and skills to solve real-world problems. In order to perform effectively as professionals and citizens, students must become competent in reading and using quantitative data, in understanding quantitative evidence and in applying basic quantitative skills to the solution of real-life problems. In Statistical Inferential Reasoning, students learn to evaluate claims based on statistical principles through a 3-hour course devoted to the conceptual and practical applications of statistical reasoning and thinking. The course provides an introduction to the science of statistics, and while students will be expected to reason with statistical ideas and make sense of statistical information, computations are not the focus. Courses in Community, Culture and Citizenship in the USA area: promote student understanding of historical, societal, and cultural differences, such as those arising from race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, language, nationality, religion, political and ethical perspectives, and socioeconomic class; engage students in tasking involved in grappling with conflicts, compromises, and/or ethical dilemmas stemming from the complex and diverse cultural contexts of US communities; and fosters effective and responsible participation in a diverse community or society in the United States. Courses in Global Dynamics equip students to participate in a diverse, multiethnic, multilingual world community. Toward this end, students consider issues of equality, ethical dilemmas, global trends, social change, and civic engagement in the context of local cultures outside the US. We look forward to having you on campus over the coming years! Yours in Education, Dr. Mike Mullen Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education Dean of Undergraduate Studies

GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN ARTS AND CREATIVITY A-E 120 PATHWAYS TO CREATIVITY IN THE VISUAL ARTS (3 CR)

Students are introduced to a variety of hands-on and learning approaches in the exploration of art and creativity. Students will experience creativity; its origins and development in relation to the visual arts as a form of creative expression, communication, and a catalyst to learning in cross-curricular disciplines. Various learning styles will be presented to students to analyze how they learn and how these various learning styles relate to the creative mind.

A-S 102 TWO-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE (3 CR)

A broad, cross-disciplinary studio course exploring design elements and principles as the basic means of organizing two-dimensional space. Each student develops the ability to form strategies, concepts and ideas to enhance creativity and articulate personal expression.

A-S 103 THREE-DIMENSIONAL FORM (3 CR)

A broad, cross-disciplinary studio course exploring the elements and principles of designing in the round. Basic concepts involving three-dimensional design in visual art will be explored through discussion and the creation of spatial forms. Special emphasis will be given to the creative process in problem solving.

A-S 130 DRAWING (3 CR)

A broad, cross-disciplinary studio course exploring the visual language of drawing through observation. Students learn the mechanisms of visual perception, how individual components of a drawing relate to the organization of the composition as a whole. Each student develops not only observational skills rooted in traditional drawing media for realistic renderings, but also gradually builds strategies, concepts, and ideas for abstract expression.

A-S 200 DIGITAL ART, SPACE AND TIME (3 CR)

This course provides fundamental instruction in digital media as a creative tool. Students will learn the basics of digital collage, video editing and sound design. An overview of historical and contemporary digital art practice will be presented as well as elements of design and composition.

A-S 280 INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHIC LITERACY (3 CR) This course introduces students to photography through both the study of its history and the practice of making photographs. The historical portion will focus on both photographic literacy and aesthetics. The practice will take students through various styles, genres and technical aspects of the medium.

A-S 380 BLACK & WHITE DARKROOM PHOTOGRAPHY (3 CR) An introductory course in photography. Although it provides a thorough background in basic techniques that students may apply to any discipline, its primary emphasis is upon the practice of the medium as a fine art. Students receive technical instruction in camera and lens construction, exposure controls, processing of black and white negatives and prints, and presentation. Nine studio hours per week.

7

INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN ARTS AND CREATIVITY CONTINUED CME 455 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROCESS DESIGN I (3 CR) Restricted to Chemical Engineering students.

A lecture and problem-solving course emphasizing process economic evaluation, product design, and process synthesis as they apply to chemical units and systems. Appropriate use of software for simulation and design of chemical systems will also be emphasized.

TA 110 THEATRE: AN INTRODUCTION (3 CR)

This course provides an introduction and investigation into the analysis, research, production, and creative techniques central to the art of theatre. Students will read performance texts, attend live performances, and create a public performance event to learn how theatre can play a role in community building and influence culture in general.

TA 120 CREATIVITY AND THE ART OF ACTING (3 CR)

Students will explore recent and current trends in theatre that allow performances to become creators of their own works. Students will examine the ways they can interpret language, literature, poetry, and dramatic texts to develop new ways to communicate their ideas in performance through the idiom of an ensemble. This course provides students with the tools to create their own short, original works of theatre.

TA 140 INTRODUCTION TO DANCE (3 CR)

An introduction to the history, theory and principles of dance as a cultural and aesthetic form of expression. The class will provide students with fundamentals of movement while providing an opportunity to express themselves creatively through the use of improvisation, composition, and choreography. Creative results of these explorations will be shown as part of a public performance at the end of the semester.

UKC 100 BEGINNING CLASSROOM GUITAR (3 CR) An introductory course for guitar playing as well as a study of the history and repertoire of the guitar. Included will be assigned reading on the different manifestations of the guitar through historical and cross-cultural studies.

8

INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN THE HUMANITIES A-H 101 INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL STUDIES (3 CR)

Students are introduced to the concepts and techniques of visual literacy. We will examine the full spectrum of man-made visual forms encountered by contemporary Americans and learn how to think critically about various aspects of our visual environment from architectural complexes to individual buildings, from graphic novels and cartoons to films and works of art, from still photos to streaming video. Although the main focus of the course is contemporary American visual culture, we will explore other cultures and other time periods considering the subtle and not so subtle effects of effects of globalization on our lives, beliefs, consuming, and viewing habits.

A-H 105 ANCIENT THROUGH MEDIEVAL ART (3 CR)

Survey of the development of art and architecture with primary emphasis on cultures of Egypt, Western Asia, Greece, Rome and medieval Europe.

A-H 106 RENAISSANCE THROUGH MODERN ART (3 CR)

Historical development of Western art and architecture from the fourteenth century through the present.

A-H 334 STUDIES IN RENAISSANCE ART (Subtitle required) (3 CR)

While Renaissance artistic production is traditionally identified with Italian centers, particularly Florence, this course explores the Renaissance as a European phenomenon, one of dynamic interchange between European artistic centers, artists, and trade in works of art. We reconsider the emphasis usually placed on mathematical perspective, assimilation of the antique revival and illusion of life. Besides painting, sculpture, and architecture, study of Renaissance visual culture is expanded to include prints and decorative arts. Focus is placed on the values and motives of the patrons as well as the purposes and functions of art works – whether religious, cultural, social, or political. Individual research will lead to a paper, a group presentation, and will contribute to a larger class project.

AAS 264 MAJOR BLACK WRITERS (3 CR) (ENG 264) A cross-cultural and historical approach to written and oral works by major Black

authors of Africa, the Caribbean and the United States. The course includes writers such as Chinua Achebe (Africa), Wilson Harris (Caribbean), and Toni Morrison (USA).

ARC 314 HISTORY AND THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE III: TWENTIETH CENTURY AND

CLA 229 THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST AND GREECE TO THE DEATH OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT (3 CR) (HIS 229) Covers the birth of civilization in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the history of the ancient

Near East and Greece to the conquest of Greece by Philip of Macedon. CLA 230 THE HELLENISTIC WORLD AND ROME (3 CR) (HIS 230) Covers the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the main features of the Hellenistic

World, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire to the death of Constantine.

9

INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN THE HUMANITIES CONTINUED ENG 191 LITERATURE AND THE ARTS OF CITIZENSHIP (3 CR)

A survey and investigation of contemporary literature of modern American citizenship, with an emphasis on questions of race, religion, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic class. ENG 191 provides UK Core credit for Humanities or the Community, Culture and Citizenship in the USA requirement.

ENG 230 INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE: (Subtitle required) (3 CR)

In this course we will read and analyze literature that asks us to think about seeing, blindness, invisibility, appearing, surveillance, and visual technologies. These ways of “seeing” and “not seeing” filter how characters understand their worlds, how narrators tell their stories, and how readers engage with texts. In metaphors, the language of sight has a strong hold over the everyday expression of knowledge and understanding, and so it is, both literally and metaphorically, that seeing and not seeing inform the way we understand both our world and the worlds we read about. In attending to the language of our texts, we will investigate how literary works present the world we thought we knew and return it to us from a fresh perspective and a different way of seeing. Our readings will thus encourage us to ask many different kinds of questions: generic (why is blindness a punishment fit for tragedies?), social and political (how is racial prejudice paradoxically experienced like a feeling of invisibility?) and historical (is twentieth-century history simply a series of spectacular events?).

ENG 234 INTRODUCTION TO WOMEN’S LITERATURE: (Subtitle required) (3 CR)

Students will be introduced to a sampling of the rich body of women’s writing, focusing on some important issues and representative examples. Students will read canonical and non-canonical works, discuss continuities and differences among women writers, and master some of the concepts of gender studies. Attention will be paid to student writing, particularly to devising a thesis, crafting an argument, and learning how to use supporting evidence.

ENG 264 MAJOR BLACK WRITERS (3 CR) (AAS 264) A cross-cultural and historical approach to written and oral works by major Black

authors of Africa, the Caribbean and the United States. The course includes writers such as Chima Achebe (Africa), Wilson Harris (Caribbean), and Toni Morrison (USA).

ENG 281 INTRODUCTION TO FILM (3 CR)

This course attempts to break down the elements of our film experience into smaller, more manageable units – cinematography, editing, music, dialogue, special effects, etc. At the same time, however, we will study the relations between those components in narrative patterns and genre conventions. To that end, we will look at both classical and recent examples of the horror film, the screwball comedy, the western, the noir, etc. We will also examine at least one silent film and a handful of so-called “art” films from other countries. Although attention to such matters as character, dialogue, acting, conflict, and theme is important, even essential, we will find ourselves chiefly analyzing film as film; that is, looking into the uniquely cinematic properties of the visual “texts” before us.

FR 103 FRENCH CINEMA (3 CR)

A history of the French Cinema from the early twentieth century to the present. Emphasis on the primary aesthetic movements of French cinematic expression in social and historical context. Attention given to the formal elements specific to film, techniques of film analysis, and the nature of visual culture. Viewing of films outside of class required. Taught in English, with no knowledge of French necessary.

10

INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN THE HUMANITIES CONTINUED GER 105 GERMAN FILM TODAY (3 CR)

This course examines contemporary German filmmaking from a global and cross-cultural perspective.

PS 210 INTRODUCTION TO COMPARATIVE POLITICS (3 CR) A general introduction to the domestic politics of countries in the various regions of the world, with an emphasis on the concepts used to understand why political issues and processes differ across developed and developing nations. Students also learn how domestic politics are shaped by super-national institutions and by national integration into a global economy.

RUS 125 MAPPING RUSSIA (Subtitle required) (3 CR)

Students will examine how the sense of a place can define socio-cultural identity. It studies how places become living, breathing entities that take on a life of their own. They shape the people who live within them and the history of their nation. Places resonate in the art and literature produced in them and play a profound role in the nature of the artistic expressions themselves. Possible topics include: Saint Petersburg, Siberia, Moscow, Vladimir/Suzdal, Vladivostok.

RUS 370 RUSSIAN FOLKLORE (3 CR)

This course will focus on the central issues of Russian folk culture, particularly related to ritual, material culture, and oral lore, and patterns and functions of folk architecture, clothing, and crafts in 19th century peasant life. Taught in English.

SOC 180 SOCIETIES IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES (3 CR)

Students will explore various globalization processes affecting contemporary societies, with a special focus on economic, political and cultural globalization. It is clear that we live in an increasingly global community. But the societal responses to these changes often vary in different cultural contexts. In order to get a better grasp of this diversity, this class will undertake preliminary explorations of globalization in three distinct societies: India, China and Appalachia.

SOC 380 GLOBALIZATION: A CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE (3 CR) (CLD 380) A sociological study of how globalization processes affect development in various

countries and world regions. Topics shall include development theory; comparative development processes and outcomes; and development policy options.

Prerequisites: SOC 101, CLD 102 or SOC 180

DSP 110 - 001 Vietnam: The Interplay of War and Culture (3 CR) Global Dynamics

Perhaps more than most wars, Vietnam was a transformative event– with the war and the opposition to it fundamentally altering the nature of American society and politics. The war in Vietnam and the so-called ‘war at home’ reflect the way in which Vietnam, politics and culture all played off each other and helped shape, and were shaped, by each other. It is this intersection of war and culture that will focus our study of that era. The course will include a historical review of Vietnam’s long struggle for independence (particularly their war with the French), and the political and social conditions in Vietnam; the reasons for American involvement; the development of US policy; criticism of the war; the experience of soldiers; and the legacy of America’s quarter century of war in Indochina. Then, we will focus on the principle domestic issues of the ‘60s, how they were connected with the war in Vietnam and the interplay of the war and political consciousness, social movements and popular culture. We will combine our study of Vietnam with a review of the music, photographs, films, and literature that both reflected the war and conditioned our perspective of the war. A special emphasis will be on understanding the war from the perspective of those who fought in it. This will be embellished by an in-class panel of veterans and, most profoundly, through our class project, which will involve students interviewing veterans. These interviews will be filmed and presented to the Oral History Project at the University of Kentucky and the Veteran’s History Project at the Library of Congress.

DSP 110 - 002 Citizen Kentucky: Journalism and Democracy (3 CR) Community, Culture and Citizenship in the USA

We will explore various dimensions of community life, the heart and practice of journalism, and the interconnections between journalism and community life in the context of a “Citizen Kentucky” project. The course consists of three interrelated segments. First, the theory and practice of “public politics” includes writing assignments for publication and culminates with a community forum as a class project. The second segment typically focuses on a fall election in November and places our “Citizen Kentucky” experiences in a national context provided by Robert Putnam’s book as we ask the question, “Is Kentucky ‘Bowling Alone’?” The third segment focuses on journalism (particularly the editor’s role), wraps up our media analysis of election coverage, and analyzes the public (or civic) journalism movement.

DSP 110 - 003 Those of Us DisLabeled: Disability and Society (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Social Sciences

Disability cuts across age, culture, gender, socioeconomic status, and every other socially developed structure. Disabilities can be visible or invisible. But just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. This course is designed to raise awareness and expectations around the construct of disability. Students will be introduced to disability history, legislation, and advocacy. Students will use critical thinking skills to analyze different models of disability from a variety of perspectives. We will explore the roles of people in society and examine the interaction of disability and economy, health, employment, sexuality, spirituality, culture, technology, policy and quality of life. We will also discuss disability in terms of empowerment, self-direction, and motivation. A variety of speakers will share their story with us over the semester. Experiential learning will be emphasized.

DSP 110 – 004 & 005 Freedom Isn’t Free: The Role of the Military Officer in American Society (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Social Sciences

Especially since September 11, 2001, it is common to hear people say that “freedom isn’t free.” Individuals, groups, and even nation states interpret this statement in different ways. This seminar introduces students to how the Army works and covers the history of the Army and the roles and relationships of the Army within our society. The course also covers some of the basic skills necessary for today’s military leaders: oral presentation, time management, map reading, basic rifle marksmanship and squad tactics. Students enrolled in this seminar will participate in a mandatory weekend-long, hands-on practicum at a US military base nearby that will expose students to military skills required to achieve basic technical and tactical competence used by the US Army. All related expenses for this weekend field trip will be covered except for optional personal items.

DSP 120 - 001 What’s So Funny? Thinking about Laughter, Humor, Comedy, and Jokes (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities

In this Discovery Seminar we will be investigating a set of interrelated subjects that are seldom taken seriously: laughter, humor, comedy, and jokes. The working premise of this Discovery Seminar is that we might learn something important about ourselves -- and about human beings generally -- by addressing questions such as the following:

Why do human beings laugh? Do other creatures laugh as well? How can we tell? What is the nature and social function of laughter? Does laughter really possess a healing power of its own?

What is humor? What makes things funny? What is the difference between a good joke and lame one? What is the role of humor in human life, and what -- if anything -- does this tell us about human beings?

How is humor related to the more serious business of life? Are there some things that can be best expressed only through comedy? Are there some insights that have to be conveyed humorously, or not at all?

What are the various types of humor? What are the various functions of the same? What is the relationship between humor and intelligence ("wit"), or between humor and aggression?

Does comedy ultimately serve to reconcile us with the limits of human life, or is it, instead, a way of transcending the same and thereby “redeeming” life?

DSP 120 - 002 The African American Experience in Kentucky (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities

Historically, Kentucky is known for its agricultural economy, thoroughbred industry, and basketball tradition. African Americans have played a central role in the establishment of all three traditions, but their role in this rich history has often been overlooked. This course offers a general perspective of the African American experience in Kentucky. We will discuss the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of black life in the State from the earliest settlement to the present. This seminar also highlights the people, places, events, organizations, and institutions that have been pivotal to the Kentucky African American experience. In order to enhance class readings and discussions, students will visit various historical sites in Kentucky that have been central to the Black experience. Students will be required to visit these historical sites with the class.

DSP 120 - 003 The (Re)Discovery of Consciousness (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities

Every one of us is familiar with the fact of being conscious, of “having” consciousness. All of our studying so far in school, not to mention all the activities in a normal day, only takes place while we are conscious. All of the literature we read, all of the music we listen to, all of the time we spend with friends happens as real only while we are aware of it. Being aware of what is around us and being aware of one’s own being is what life is all about. And yet it is far from clear in science or philosophy just how “consciousness” works or what is really going on in being conscious; indeed at least some of what “goes on” in being conscious may be something we are not at all aware of! This seminar plans to follow a variety of approaches toward clarifying the principal aspects of “being conscious.” We shall look into selections from philosophy, Psychology, and neurological science, especially in the extraordinary concentration on consciousness over the past twenty years. Yet in all of it, we shall test each question and answer on the basis of our own being conscious, the ultimate court of appeal.

DSP 120 - 004 One Nation Under God: Religion and Politics in America (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities

“Congress shall make no law….” The separation of church and state in America has not meant that religion and politics have remained apart in the course of our history. From the founding of the early colonies, through the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and currently to the debate over Faith Based Initiatives, the relationship between politics and religion has proven to be a contentious and even explosive issue over the years. In this seminar we will study the ways in which these two aspects of American culture have influenced each other for better and for worse. The course will include readings from primary sources, discussion, and oral presentations as well as short writing assignments.

DISCOVERY SEMINAR PROGRAM CONTINUED

DSP 130 - 001 The Present is the Key to the Past: The Kentucky-Bahamas Connection (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical Sciences

The central Kentucky area is not at all like the Bahamas! However, 450 million years ago central Kentucky was located 20 degrees south of the equator in a climate and setting very much like the Bahamas today. At that time, this landless area was all a shallow, open-marine sea, populated with many invertebrate organisms including sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, trilobites, crinoids, and various types of algae. In this seminar, we use basic geologic principals to understand how the rocks in the Kentucky area were deposited and formed over time. Similarly, we collect and examine fossils to understand their evolutionary underpinnings. We spend considerable class time in the field examining the local rocks and fossils. Because of travel time to and from the field, most classes on field-trip days will have to be extended by 60 to 90 minutes. Attendance on a full-Saturday field trip during the semester is required. Short readings, field trips, written papers and participation in class discussion are also required. All of the above is in preparation for a required weeklong trip to San Salvador, Bahamas, before and during Thanksgiving Break in order to examine modern analogs to the 450-million-year-old rocks in central Kentucky. Students must provide their own transportation to and from Ft. Lauderdale, in addition to the cost of the weeklong stay that costs approximately $1000 - 1100.

DSP 130 - 002 Hoofbeats Mean Horses in Kentucky (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical Sciences

If Central Kentucky has a “brand,” it is horses. Within a 20 mile radius of Lexington, we find more than 20,000 horses of many different breeds. Most of the horses belong to the Thoroughbred breed, but the Blue Grass region has been a cradle for Standardbred, American Saddlebred, Arabian and other horse breeds. Horses are also important worldwide. Major horse regions in the world include Deauville, France; Hokkaido, Japan; Newmarket, United Kingdom; Saratoga, New York as well as Lexington, Kentucky. The temperate climate, limestone bedrock feeding bluegrass forages and simple history of horses in Kentucky coalesce to make Lexington the unabashed horse capital of the world. Before the advent of the industrial age, horses were a major source of power and transportation. For example, human populations that harnessed horses had major advantages over those that did not. Horses continue to be important to our economy today, albeit for different reasons, including recreation and sport. In addition, the horse industry generates jobs and money comparable to the motion picture, apparel and railway industries. The relationship of horses to humans is historical, cultural, economical and behavioral, and we will consider these aspects in light of their biology. This course will be presented as a science-based course for non-science students. Throughout the course the questions will be asked, “How do we know this information? Why do we believe it? Is it true?”

DSP 130 - 003 Quantum Theory for Everyone (3 CR) Intellectual Inquiry in the Natural, Physical and Mathematical Sciences

Is the moon really there when nobody is looking? Can a cat simultaneously be both dead and alive? Do you like to think about and try to solve puzzles, especially those which can take you beyond everyday human experience into the bizarre realm of the quantum world? In chemistry class we learn that the electrons in an atom have discrete, quantized energy states. But what are the laws of physics which dictate this behavior in atoms, and what are the implications of these laws in other physical systems? We will explore in a largely non-mathematical way the nature of the quantum theory and discover how it can be widely applied in a number of interesting cases. We also will discuss various interpretations of the meaning of the quantum theory. (Most physicists are content to use the theory to make precise calculations of physical properties, but it is great fun to also think about “what it all means.”) This class is guaranteed to be unlike any you have ever experienced.

“If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about it.” – Niels Bohr

FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

At the University of Kentucky (UK), Foreign language credits are no longer explicitly required as part of the new UK General Education Program, the UK Core. Foreign language proficiency is still an expectation for students who enter UK and is still considered to be an important part of the students’ educational background. Beginning in fall 2013, all students who enter UK will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language at the mid-novice level, as determined by a competency evaluation, for example, the STAMP test. During fall 2011 and 2012, the university will be conducting pilot testing of randomly selected incoming students to determine what level these students possess upon entering UK. Although the new UK Core does not explicitly mandate foreign language coursework, it is still the case that students admitted to the university should have completed two years of foreign language in order to enroll at UK, as per the Kentucky Department of Education policy regarding the Pre-College curriculum (http://bit.ly/jaqmgh). As a result of the importance of foreign language proficiency and the Kentucky Department of Education policy for completion of the Pre-College curriculum, the following policy remains in effect for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 academic years:

Any first-time freshman or transfer student must demonstrate that they have completed two high school credits in a single foreign language, or two semesters at the postsecondary level. A student who has not completed the high school foreign language requirement will be required to take a two-semester sequence in one foreign language at the University of Kentucky prior to graduation. There are no changes in current policy for students with a foreign language learning disability, international students with a valid TOEFL score, transfer students with an AA or AS degree, or any other student who has completed a baccalaureate degree.
