CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE
Overview
The Department of Behavioral Science in the College of Medicine, in affiliation with the
135 | P a g e Clinical and Translational Science (CTS). The academic discipline focuses on acceleration of the translation of basic science advances to tangible improvements in public health. This
interdisciplinary program is designed to expand research career opportunities for exceptional professionals with terminal professional health care degrees (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, public health professionals). Students enrolled in the MD/PhD Program are also eligible for admission.
The primary emphasis of the program is mentored research training to permit scholars to create well‐reasoned original research contributions to the discovery of clinical health knowledge and its application. An interdisciplinary PhD Advisory Committee will play a prominent role in coordinating the individualized curriculum, research training and career development of the scholars in the program, based on scholar interest and background. A major professor (i.e., primary mentor), with the support of the Advisory Committee, will oversee research training and career development. A minimum of one faculty member in the Department of Behavioral Science who is a full member of the graduate faculty will serve as a primary or co‐mentor. Other members of the Advisory Committee will be selected based on their abilities to support elements of the interdisciplinary research interests and career trajectories of the scholar, regardless of departmental affiliation.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the program is generally limited to 1) applicants with terminal health professional degrees with appropriate domestic licensure to practice and 2) students in the MD/PhD
Program. Other students may apply to the program with consent of the Director of Graduate Studies.
Admission to the PhD in CTS program is through the Department of Behavioral Science. Inquiries about the Ph.D. program should be directed to the Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Behavioral Science. Additional information may also be obtained from the Web sites of the Department of Behavioral Science (http://www.mc.uky.edu/behavioralscience/) and Center for Clinical and Translational Science (http://ccts.uky.edu/TEAM/default.aspx).
Curriculum
Scholars with a terminal health professional degree (or enrolled in the MD/PhD Program) are required to complete 18 credit hours of coursework to establish pre‐qualifying residency status. This coursework typically consists of core competency‐based courses in clinical and
translational science (typically 12 credit hours) and tailored coursework developed in consultation with the major professor and advisory committee (minimum of 6 credit hours). The tailored portion of the curriculum will be designed to provide training needed for the scholar to lead interdisciplinary CTS research teams and/or sustain independent research programs that promote innovation and new discovery.

The College of Communications and Information Studies offers programs leading to the Master of Arts (either Plan A or Plan B) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Communication. The program offers special opportunities for students to apply communication theory and research across many contexts. Students may develop a program of study emphasizing (or combining) research areas such as health communication, mass communication, interpersonal
communication, instructional communication, communication and information systems, as well as risk and crisis communication. The program is designed to serve the needs of students whose goals may include teaching and academic research, professional research, or communication careers in the media or other organizations.
Students pursuing work in health communication are encouraged to develop interdisciplinary programs involving the Department of Behavioral Science, the College of Medicine, as well as the Colleges of Dentistry, Health Sciences, Pharmacy, and Nursing. Communication also
participates in interdisciplinary research programs with the Center for Prevention Research, the Sanders‐Brown Center for Aging, and a variety of other health‐related departments and
institutes.
Admission Requirements
Students with an undergraduate degree from a fully accredited institution of higher learning and a grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale are admissible to the graduate program. Only students who have previously completed a master’s degree may apply for admission into the doctoral program. Master’s degree applicants are expected to have had at least twelve hours of appropriate undergraduate work in communication. Students with degrees in areas not directly related to communication are encouraged to apply, but they may be required to take course work without graduate credit. Should the Admissions Committee feel there is a deficiency in the applicantʹs studies, it may require enrollment in specific undergraduate courses. Courses taken to remove a deficiency cannot be counted towards the masterʹs degree. In some cases,
137 | P a g e successful professional experience in a communication field will be considered in admitting students to the program.
Applicants must complete the University of Kentucky’s Graduate School online‐application and pay the application fee. Per the Graduate School’s instruction, all applicants are required to submit official scores on the Graduate Record Examination and official transcripts of all work taken at and beyond the college level. Students whose native language is not English must also submit an official score of at least 550 (or 213 on the computer version) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Additionally, all applicants must submit to the College of
Communications and Information Studies Graduate Admissions office: (1) transcripts of all work taken at the college level (unofficial or photocopies are acceptable), (2) at least three letters of recommendation focusing on their academic abilities accompanied by the supplied Reference Form and (3) the completed Application Essay indicating why they want to pursue a graduate degree with their reasons for applying to the program. No additional forms are required for financial assistance consideration—all applicants will be considered for funding at the time of review.
The Admissions and Financial Aid Committee will review only completed admission files on or before the first Friday in January of each year. Applications must have their completed file on record with the Associate Dean for the Graduate Programs in Communication by the deadline in order to be considered for fall admission. New graduate students are permitted to enroll only during the fall semester.
Exceptions will be made only because of circumstances beyond the control of the applicant. This deadline does not apply to: (1) UK undergraduate students in the College of Communications and Information Studies applying as University Scholars, who may be admitted for summer, fall or spring semesters, and (2) current students in the M.A. Program in Communication or the M.L.S. or M.S.L.S.
Master of Arts
The M.A. program requires that every student become familiar with the important theories and concepts and the principal investigation methods used to expand knowledge of communication. All students are required to complete 30 credit hours to complete the Master of Arts degree. Students will be required to take 12 core credit hours consisting of Communication Theory (CJT 651), and Communication Research Methods (CJT 665), plus Statistics 570 (or its equivalent as determined by the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies). In addition, all students will be required to take either Interpersonal Communication (CJT 631) or Mass Communication (CJT 645). Students may choose from either the Plan A (Thesis option) or Plan B (non‐thesis) options to complete their Masters degree requirements.
Plan A: Students choosing Plan A will take a minimum of 24 credit hours of actual course work, and write a thesis (Note: the six thesis credits must be taken under CJT 768 ‐ Residence Credit
138 | P a g e for the Masterʹs degree). All students will also complete an oral examination in defense of the thesis.
Plan B: Students choosing Plan B, will take a minimum of 30 hours of course work, followed by a written and oral examination over the studentʹs program.
At least 21 credit hours of the minimum requirements for the masterʹs degree must be from offerings within the College of Communications and Information studies (both Plan A and Plan B). Plan A students may include six hours of CJT 768 in the 21 hours, since the thesis involves work in an area of communication. Also, at least 21 credit hours of the minimum requirements must be in courses at the 600 and 700 levels (both Plan A and Plan B). Plan A students may include six hours of CJT 768 in the 21 hours. No more than three credit yours in Plan A and 6 credit hours in Plan B (of the minimum requirements) may be earned in directed study, directed reading, or internship courses (e.g., CJT 696, CJT 700, CJT 781, and CJT 790).
Students without previous course work in communication may be required to take undergraduate work that does not count toward graduate credit, as determined by the Admissions Committee. Individuals without significant practical experience are strongly encouraged to take CJT 696 ‐ Internship in Communication, which could include opportunities to work with external agencies and funded projects, both within and outside the university.
Doctor of Philosophy
The Ph.D. program emphasizes communication as a social science. Graduates are prepared for university positions and careers in government, the media and other organizations as
researchers, consultants and policy makers. Students must demonstrate general knowledge of communication across various contexts, as well as competence in a core area of specialization. Current core areas include communication and information systems, health communication, interpersonal communication, and mass communication.
Students must demonstrate a thorough grasp of communication theory and research methods and must take course work in a cognate area outside of Communication. Proficiency in a foreign language is not required for successful completion of the Ph.D. in Communication. A studentʹs advisory committee may, however, stipulate certain graduate‐level courses in another language for the studentʹs program that are consistent with the objectives of the studentʹs program. The required curriculum is as follows:
Fall Semester: Year 1
CJT 651 Communication Theory
CJT 664 Qualitative Methods in Communication Research STA 570 (or other advanced statistics course)
Spring Semester: Year 1
139 | P a g e CJT 645 Proseminar in Mass Communication
CJT 665 Quantitative Methods in Communication Research
Fall Semester: Year 2
CJT 751 Advanced Topics in Communication Theory Construction
All students are also required to complete at least 3 credit hours of CJT 790 (Research Problems in Communication) by the last semester of course work.
The Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, in consultation with the Graduate Review committee, can waive any of the above requirements for a student who has previously taken the same or equivalent course at UK or another university for graduate credit.
Each student works with a major professor and an advisory committee to plan course work and complete the dissertation. The committee also administers the qualifying examination and the final oral examination. The qualifying examination consists of a written and oral examination over general communication theory, the core area of specialization, research methods/statistics and the cognate area.
