气象与大气科学系提供了一个综合的BS / MS（IUG）计划，该计划旨在让成绩优异的学生在五年的学习中同时获得气象学的BS和MS学位。为了在五年内完成该计划，对IUG气象学计划感兴趣的学生必须在大三结束时申请入读研究生院和综合BS / MS计划。对IUG计划感兴趣的学生，应在本科学习中尽早与研究生招生官联系。在头三年中，学生将遵循BS学位中一个选项的课程安排，通常是“大气科学”或“一般”选项（请参阅《本科课程》）。鼓励打算参加综合BS / MS计划的学生在适当的时候在其前三年学习高年级课程。在大三学年末，
The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science offers an integrated B.S./M.S. (IUG) Program that is designed to allow academically superior students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degree in Meteorology in five years of study. In order to complete the program in five years, students interested in the IUG Program in Meteorology must apply for admission to the Graduate School and the Integrated B.S./M.S. program by the end of their junior year. During the first three years, the student will follow the course scheduling of one of the options in the B.S. degree, normally the Atmospheric Sciences or the General option (see the Undergraduate Bulletin). Students who intend to enter the Integrated B.S./M.S. program are encouraged to take upper level classes during their first three years whenever appropriate. By the end of the junior year, students normally apply for admission to both the Meteorology Department IUG program (502 Walker Building) and to the Graduate School. Acceptance decisions will be made prior to the beginning of the senior year and M.S. advising committees will be appointed for successful applicants. Acceptance is based primarily on demonstrated research abilities. During the senior year, IUG students follow the scheduling of the selected B.S. Meteorology option, with an emphasis on completing 500-level course work as appropriate. During the senior year, IUG students will start work on their theses or papers that are designed to meet the requirements of the M.S. degree in Meteorology. During the fifth year, IUG students take courses fulfilling the departmental M.S. degree requirements and complete their M.S. theses. Typical scheduling plans for students pursuing the General or Atmospheric Sciences options are given below. If a plan similar to one of these plans is followed, then the student will have completed all requirements for the BS in Meteorology by the end of the fourth year. If, for some reason, a student cannot continue in the integrated program, then this student will be able to receive the undergraduate degree upon completion of all of the B.S. requirements. Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is an undergraduate, unless the student receives financial support, for example, via an assistantship requiring the payment of graduate tuition.
