The Geography - Meteorology major prepares students for public, military and private sector positions in atmospheric science and for graduate studies in meteorology, climatology, or atmospheric science.
The curriculum is based on guidelines from the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Service. While the major requires coursework in math and physics, most of the courses are focused on atmospheric science and are offered by the Geography Department.
All meteorology majors receive forecasting experience; broadcast experience is possible in association with WOUB.
