Meteorology, B.S.
The BS Meteorology program conforms to the American Meteorological Society's Guidelines for a B.S. Degree in Meteorology/Atmospheric Science. It satisfies the National Weather Service GS-1340 requirements and adequately prepares a student for the pursuit of an advanced degree. Our graduates are diversely employed, some going onto careers in education, administration, and research. Many continue on to pursue advanced degrees at major research institutions, work for government agencies or begin careers in the private sector. More than half our graduates work in operational forecasting--just a few of their employers include The Weather Channel, Accu-Weather, Weather Services Corporation, and numerous branches of the National Weather Service. Several of grads work as on-air meteorologists at TV stations across the U.S. Our graduates enter the workforce as knowledgeable, skilled and competent professionals.
