气象学学士学位的主要目标是增进我们对影响天气和气候的大气过程的理解。通过在数学，化学，物理，统计学，计算机科学，地质学，地球科学和气象学方面的高级课程相结合，这种追求本质上涉及跨学科的方法，重点是最近的基础和应用研究。该计划旨在为下一代气象学家提供足够的知识和技能，以：（1）在各种时空和地理空间尺度上有效地监视和分析大气状态，（2）提供对普通和恶劣天气的准确及时的预报（3）应对相关的当代挑战，例如全球和区域气候变化，人类与自然环境的互动以及复原力和可持续社区的发展。为此，核心的气象课程由共同提供广泛范围的
The primary goal of the Bachelor of Science in Meteorology is to advance our understanding of the atmospheric processes that influence weather and climate. This pursuit inherently involves an interdisciplinary approach through the combination of advanced coursework in mathematics, chemistry, physics, statistics, computer science, geology, earth sciences, and meteorology with emphasis on recent basic and applied research. The program is designed to provide the next generation of meteorologists with sufficient knowledge and skills to: (1) effectively monitor and analyze the atmospheric state across a spectrum of temporal and geospatial scales, (2) provide accurate and timely forecasts of ordinary and severe weather, and (3) address relevant contemporary challenges such as global and region climate change, human interactions with the natural environment, and the development of resilient and sustainable communities. To this end, the core meteorological curriculum is composed of courses that collectively provide a broad treatment of multi-scale atmospheric processes, including atmospheric thermodynamics and physics as well as synoptic, dynamic, and mesoscale meteorology.
