ELECTIVES (23-24 credits or more)
In addition to courses meeting the above requirements, students must take enough other courses offered by the university to bring their total number of credits to the minimum of 128 required for graduation. Although not required, many meteorology students use these electives to complete a minor. A minor in mathematics, requiring only four more mathematics courses, is the most popular. Students also consider other fields, including oceanography, physics, environmental sciences, and environmental and business economics. Students are strongly encouraged to do internships, which provide valuable career-related experience and contacts, and to pursue research with faculty members. Both can be taken for academic credit.

A student must achieve a grade of C or better in the following courses:

Physics 1 (01:750:203 and 205)    
Physics 2 (01:750:204 and 206)
Calculus 1 (01:640:151)
Calculus 2 (01:640:152)
Multivariate Calculus (01:640:251)
Introduction to Meteorology (11:670:101)    
Introduction to Climate Science (11:670:102)

Students preparing for graduate study in meteorology or atmospheric science are encouraged to consider additional courses in meteorology, oceanography, computer science, and mathematics such as:

11:670:414  Hydrologic Processes (3)
11:670:444  Tropical Meteorology (3)
11:670:453  Air Quality Modeling (3)
11:628:451  Physical Oceanography (4)
01:198:323  Numerical Analysis and Computing (4)
01:640:250  Introduction to Linear Algebra (3)
01:640:423  Elementary Partial Differential Equations (3)
01:640:477  Mathematical Theory of Probability (3)
