Meteorology Major Meteorology concerns the physics, dynamics, and chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and its relationship with hydrosphere, land, and human systems, with the goals of understanding its composition, structure, and motion, and accurately predicting atmospheric phenomena. Through courses for the tracks in General Atmospheric Science; Applied Meteorology, Hazards, and Global Change; and Broadcast Meteorology, […]
The Department of Geography is excited to announce the Bachelor of Science program in Meteorology has been fully approved, and will officially begin in Fall 2024. Our program provides broader geographic training and aims to build skills that crosscut from meteorology to applied climate science, geospatial analysis, hydrology, business, economics, communications, and Al as required […]

Supplement your major with an understanding of the atmosphere and awareness of the societal impacts of natural hazards and climate change. The certificate is designed for students seeking employment as climatologists, broadcast meteorologists, water district managers, those interested in environmental issues, to prepare for graduate studies, or those who just love the weather.
Working knowledge of atmospheric processes across multiple spatial and temporal scales is essential for effective research across many disciplines. These courses emphasize an understanding of the atmosphere through visualization of data to aid students whose research involves meteorology or climatology.
