BS Meteorology

Completing the Meteorology degree in four years requires a serious commitment to math and science that often begins in high school with advanced placement coursework. More students are interested in this program than will complete it successfully. A student interested in the subject matter uncertain about his or her commitment to a science degree might do better to fulfill Directions requirements with courses offered by this department while exploring another major.

  • MT 2230 Introduction to Meteorological Analysis
  • MT 2800 Climatology (GACO)
  • CH 2330 General Chemistry I (QRCO) + lab (then CH 2340 Gen. Chem. II)
  • MA 2550 Calculus I (MATH) (then MA 2560 Calculus II [QRCO])
  • PH 2410 University Physics (with lab, PH 2430, to be followed by PH 2420 and 2440)
