气象学专业至少需要32个气象学分，才能获得理学学士学位。必修的专业课程为每个学生奠定了大气科学基础的基础。必修的数学和物理课程提供了理解高层气象学概念所需的工具。我们的选修课程反映了科学的多样性，并充实了每个学生的学术经验，为研究生职业的发展做准备。由于气象科学在数学，物理学，计算机科学和化学领域吸引了极大的注意力，因此学生应具有强大的数学和科学背景。气象专业的毕业生是私营企业以及联邦，州和地方政府机构的预报员，涉及的问题包括空气污染控制，安全出行，节水和疾病控制等。
The major in meteorology, requiring a minimum of 32 meteorology credits, leads to a bachelor of science. The required major courses prepare every student in the foundations of atmospheric science. Required math and physics courses provide the needed tools to understand upper-level meteorology concepts. Our elective courses reflect the diverse nature of the science and enrich each student's academic experience in preparation for post-graduate careers.<br><br>Because the science of meteorology draws heavily on the fields of mathematics, physics, computer science, and chemistry, students should possess a strong mathematics and science background.
