The University of Kansas opened its doors to its first eager undergraduate students in 1866, progressed rapidly to full undergraduate and beginning graduate-level work, and in 1895 awarded its first doctoral degree, a Ph.D. in mathematics. KU was admitted into the prestigious Association of American Universities in 1909. In the Kansas Board of Regents system, the university accounts for about 70 percent of doctoral study and a large percentage of all other graduate work in the liberal arts and sciences, music, art, and a number of professional fields.
