Atmospheric Sciences Programs

The Department of Geosciences has long been known for its programs in Broadcast Meteorology, but we also offer a B.S. concentration in Professional Meteorology for those students not interested in broadcast media.

Our graduate students have the option of a non-thesis M.S. in Broadcast Meteorology or a traditional thesis-track option with a more flexible course schedule.  Our thesis students usually specialize in applied meteorology or climatology.

Finally, our new Ph.D. program in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences offers students the chance to focus on research at the doctoral level.  Graduate student research can vary widely across meteorology, climatology, and related fields, but the emphasis is on new, innovative results and methods.
