Bachelor of Science in Meteorology and Master of Science in GIScience and Geoenvironment

Meteorology is the study of the physical characteristics of the lower atmosphere and the processes that are responsible for generating the weather. Students who complete the major are exposed to concepts, methodologies, and practical applications related to weather analysis and forecasting, as well as numerous environmental applications. Meteorology students use specialized equipment including instrumentation and computer applications associated with weather observations, weather radar, and remotely-sensed information.

Students who want to become professionals in meteorology-related fields should select the Applied Meteorology option. Students who want to pursue careers with the National Weather Service or want to go to graduate school should select the Operational Meteorology option.

An integrated baccalaureate and master’s degree program is available for the Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science or the Bachelor of Science in Meteorology: Master of Science in GIScience and Geoenvironment. An integrated degree program provides the opportunity for outstanding undergraduates to earn both degrees in five years.
