This curriculum provides a firm foundation in the tools and concepts of the atmospheric sciences. The program prepares students to contribute to the solution of environmental problems, either through immediate employment or through further study at the graduate level.

Graduation Requirements for the Major

To enter meteorology courses at the 300 and 400 level, students must have achieved a grade of C or better in 01:160:161-162 General Chemistry or 01:750:193-194 Physics for the Sciences, as well as 01: 640:151-152 Calculus for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in all mathematics, physics, chemistry, and meteorology courses used to fulfill major requirements. A single D grade in a meteorology course is allowed after the student has earned 96 credits.
