NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 211 
A student may be admitted to graduate standing in this department 
without having had some of the required courses, but he will ordinarily 
not be allowed to take a master's degree until he has completed all of 
them, either before or after admission to the Graduate School. 
Courses listed as "suggested" should be taken whenever the student's 
program permits, but he will ordinarily not be obliged to take them in 
order to obtain the master's degree. He may, however, be asked to take 
some of the "suggested" courses if he continues for the Ph.D. degree. 
Exceptions to these requirements may be made at the discretion of 
the department and the student's advisory committee. The reading knowledge 
of two languages is required of graduate students before the Ph.D. degree 
can be achieved, Good undergraduate preparation in at least one language 
is strongly urged. Spanish ordinarily is not an acceptable substitute for 
French or German or Russian. 
Undergraduate courses taken by a graduate student do not contribute 
credits toward his advanced degree at the University of Miami. 
The courses designated as "required" are marked with an asterisk,
