THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
The Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce
Program of Study The Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce offers an interdisciplinary M.A. degree and
serves in an advisory capacity with respect to the Ph.D. programs in international studies within the four
departments - Business Administration, Economics, History, and Political Science - primarily related to the
Patterson School.
The typical M.A. candidate will spend three semesters (one and a half years) on campus. The M.A. degree
program can be tailored with considerable flexibility to meet the career needs of any particular student.
Appropriate courses can be selected from the relevant offerings of virtually all parts of the University,
including the Colleges of Agriculture, Allied Health, Law, Medicine, and Social Professions. The M.A.
program is especially useful for the student desiring a career in any of the nonacademic fields in foreign
affairs, such as international banking, international business, international journalism (foreign
correspondent), or service in such government agencies as the U.S. Department of State and international
organizations such as the United Nations.
Research Facilities Students at the Patterson School have full access to the main University library and appropriate specialized
libraries, as well as to the University's computer facilities and certain specialized research institutes and
programs, when relevant.
Financial Aid A limited number of full ($2800 per academic year) and partial (less than $2800) Patterson Fellowships are
available for highly qualified students. Patterson Fellowships are considered nonservice, and are therefore tax
exempt. No other forms of aid are routinely available, although Patterson School officials can provide some
information on job opportunities for students or their spouses and information on various student loan
possibilities.
Cost of Study The 1976-77 tuition for Kentucky residents is $265 per semester, or $530 per academic year. Tuition for
out-of-state students is $630 per semester, or $1260 per academic year. These tuition rates include all
mandatory fees. A student health service fee (optional) is $12 per semester. Textbooks average $100 per
semester. All Patterson Fellowship holders, regardless of residence, pay only the tuition rate for Kentucky
residents.
Cost of Living In 1976-77, on-campus University housing for single graduate students varies from $292 to $674 per
semester, and from $95 to $120 per month for married students. The cost of University food service varies
from $266.50 to $329.50 per semester per student. Costs for commercial or private off-campus housing and
food vary from somewhat below to well above the costs given for University accommodations. Student life at
the University is quite informal, and costs for such things as clothing, laundry, and leisure activities are below
the national averages in these categories.
Student Group The Patterson School's student body is small and carefully selected, with no more than 15 to 20 students
currently being admitted each year. Some are single, some are married. Most are from the United States, but
some are from other nations. Most are in their twenties, but some are older students with professional
experience in ongoing foreign affairs careers. Currently, about half the student body is male. About 25
percent of the students are Patterson Fellowship holders.
The Community The University campus is a cohesive unit located six blocks from the heart of Lexington, a city of modest size
(180,000 in the greater Lexington area) in the center of the famous Bluegrass region. Noted for the breeding
of thoroughbred, standardbred, and saddle horses, the Bluegrass region immediately surrounding Lexington
includes more than a hundred of the most celebrated horse farms in the world. The nearest major city is
Cincinnati, a one-hour drive to the north via 1-75. The University has long enjoyed a close and cordial
relationship with the surrounding community, which can best be described as a pleasant small city in an
idyllic farming region.
The University The University, founded in 1865, is the largest (about 20,000 students) and most prominent institution of
and The School higher education in the state, with the full range of programs and activities associated with a major university.
A friendly, informal atmosphere prevails. Diverse athletic, cultural, and recreational opportunities exist
within the University and the general community.
The Patterson School enjoys especially cordial ties with all parts of the University, as well as with many
elements within the community. To supplement and complement its professional training program, the
School also serves as a research center for international studies. Activities within this context include two
research conferences each academic year, bringing together from 75 to 100 distinguished scholars from
around the world. The School publishes a newsletter and twelve paperback research monographs (the Sage
Professional Papers in International Studies series) each year, plus a series of occasional papers.
The School also organizes and sponsors, often in partnership with other organizations, a variety of programs
designed to serve Kentucky, the nation, and the global community. Examples include an annual one-day
world affairs institute for high school students and a similar one-day institute for adults. The Patterson
School cooperates closely in a number of ways with the International Studies Association and with other
professional societies.
Applying Application forms for admission to the M.A. program of the Patterson School and applications for a
Patterson Fellowship should be requested from the address given below. The deadline for applying for a
Patterson Fellowship is February 1 for the following academic year, with successful prime candidates notified
in mid-March and successful alternates notified somewhat later. The deadlines for applications for admission
only are June 14 for the following fall semester, and November 1 for the following spring semester, but
earlier submissions are encouraged in all cases. Each application must include, in addition to the standard
forms, transcripts from all previous colleges and universities attended, at least three letters of academic
reference, a personal statement of career goals from the applicant, and verbal and quantitative GRE scores.
Successful applicants for admission will ordinarily have a grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale)
and a combined verbal and quantitative GRE score of about 1200 or higher.
