Bachelor of Science degree in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science

Our Bachelor of Science degree in atmospheric and oceanic science has been designed to teach broad-based knowledge in meteorology, oceanography, climate and air pollution. The degree satisfies the requirements for federal service positions as a meteorologist or oceanographer and also follows the American Meteorological Society's statement on bachelor's degrees in Atmospheric Science. All majors complete a senior thesis based on undergraduate research opportunities. There are many advantages to studying atmospheric and oceanic science at the University of Maryland, such as small class sizes, outstanding teachers and mentors, an active student organization, and very talented classmates. The University of Maryland is a large university, but we are a smaller community within it, so you get the advantages of the diversity of a large university with the close-knit relationships in a smaller department. With the University of Maryland's proximity to Washington, D.C., we are located in a geographical area which is rich in co-op, internships, summer and full-time job opportunities. We are also close to numerous museums; music, art and sports venues, and much more.
