大气科学专业的理学学士学位课程满足了对研究气象学或气候科学感兴趣的学生的需求。该计划为学生提供有关空气的物理特性，运动和过程的深入知识，以及该保护层与下面的海洋和大洲之间的相互作用的知识。本科课程强调将传统大气科学与新兴领域相结合的系统方法。该计划特别关注热带气象学和海洋学领域，这些领域与墨西哥湾及大学战略位置所在的沿海地区直接相关。
The Bachelor of Science program in Atmospheric Sciences addresses the needs of students interested in studying meteorology or climate science. The program provides students with an in-depth knowledge of the physical characteristics, motions and processes of air, as well as the interactions of this protective layer with the underlying oceans and continents. The undergraduate program emphasizes a systems approach, combining traditional atmospheric sciences with emerging fields. In particular, the program focuses on the fields of tropical meteorology and oceanography that are directly linked to the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding coastal regions where the university is strategically located. Students will possess a broad understanding of the field of atmospheric sciences in preparation for successful careers in related disciplines, Gain experience and professional competence in the use of scientific method to develop and conduct atmospheric sciences related work, Acquire the necessary skills to effectively communicate the meteorology and climate sciences information to a range of audiences and participate in community and/or professional service through various organizations.
