of Arts degree, while climatology students will pursue the Master of
Science. Course work programs are tailored to the student's research
interest, and each student's work is periodically reviewed. There is no
special examination or language requirement.

   It is the responsibility of the student in consultation with the thesis
adviser to complete the thesis and to obtain acceptance by the thesis
committee. A public presentation of the thesis to the department also is
required.
