零中介费留学申请美国肯塔基大学

  肯塔基大学是位于美国肯塔基州莱克星顿市市郊的一所公立大学,,校园面积783英亩,环境优美,景色怡人,附近标志性建筑众多,有许多公园名胜。其历史十分曲折,1858年位于乔治敦(Georgetown)的培根学院改名为肯塔基大学(Kentucky University),但不久在南北战争中毁于战火。1865年校园被毁的Kentucky University与财政遇到困难的特兰西瓦尼亚大学合并,校名仍然为Kentucky Univeristy,校园则迁至特兰西瓦尼亚大学所在的莱克星顿。1949年黑人学生Lyman T.Johnson胜诉,得以进入研究生院就读。1954年起肯塔基大学废除对学生入学的种族要求。

  肯塔基大学现有在校学生35000人,是肯塔基州最大的大学。大学下设17个学院,分别是:农学院、艺术与科学学院、商业与经济学院,通讯与信息研究学院、牙医学学院、设计学院、教育学院、工程学院、健康科学学院、法学院、医学院、马丁公共政策与管理学院、护理学院、制药学学院、外交与国际商学院,公共健康学院和社会工作学院。

  肯塔基大学新建成的威廉·T·杨图书馆,是具有世界先进水平的研究型图书馆,其藏书量仅次于哈佛大学,排名全美国第二。特殊设备包括人类学博物馆、人文学中心、马种类研究中心、癌症研究中心、及药剂制造实验室。运动设备包括体育馆、足球场、健身房、羽毛球场、网球场、篮球场、游泳池、田径场。

  学校声誉

  肯塔基大学已经建立起了卓越的学术声誉。《美国新闻与世界报道》评为二级大学,2007年学术声誉全美排第112位。药剂学院、马丁公共政策和行政管理学院、医护学院、法学院和医学院的研究生教育均在全美名列前茅。其中,药剂学院全美排名第3,马丁学院在公共财政和预算类中排名第5,法学院位于25 大公共机构之内,护理学院排名第29。在获得美国国家自然科学基金研究经费方面,肯塔基大学在全美公立大学中排名第 36 位。

  《纽约时报大学指南》在介绍这所大学时指出,肯州以育马驰名,所以兽医学很好,特别是专门研究马匹病的中心,更加是举国知名。还有比较冷门的“国际外交”一科,虽然收生不多,却备受尊崇。其他较佳科目有会计、商业管理、心理学、教育、农科、建筑和药剂。

  学校历史

  1858年位于Georgetown的培根学院改名为Kentucky University,迁至Harrodsburg,但不久在南北战争中毁于战火。1865年校园被毁的Kentucky University与财政遇到困难的特兰西瓦尼亚大学合并,校名仍然为Kentucky Univeristy,校园则迁至特兰西瓦尼亚大学所在的莱克星顿。在Morrill政府特许地学院法案的资助下(该法案规定每个州可以从联邦政府得到 30000英亩的土地,用于建立教授军事,工程与农学的学院),肯塔基大学农业和机械学院成立。1869年该学院授予第一个学位,同年詹姆斯·肯尼迪·佩特森出任校长。1878年由于指导思想不和,学校分裂,一部分保留Kentucky University的名字,后来改回原名特兰西瓦尼亚大学,另一部分于1879年改名为肯塔基农业和机械学院,莱克星顿市为其提供额外资助,并捐赠了 52英亩的土地(现在肯塔基大学校园的中心部分),即今肯塔基大学的前身。

  1880年学校开设师范学院,开始招收女学生,但女生没有获得学位的资格。1888年才第一次授予女性学位。1904年第一座女生宿舍楼 Patterson Hall建成,这也是中心校园之外的第一座建筑。住在这里的学生需要穿越一片积水的湿地(即现在的学生活动中心)才能到教室上课。Patterson Hall后被翻新,成为肯塔基大学现存最老的学生宿舍。

  1908年学校改名为州立肯塔基大学。1910年担任四十年校长职务的James Kennedy Patterson退休。1916年学校改名为肯塔基大学。1949年黑人学生Lyman T. Johnson胜诉,得以进入研究生院就读。1954年起肯塔基大学废除对学生入学的种族要求。
