This physical science based curriculum is ideal for those interested in the physical aspects of climate, well as the interaction of the ocean and the atmosphere.

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, including climate and climate variability, weather forecasting, cloud and precipitation physics, tropical dynamics, severe weather and hurricanes. Atmospheric scientists use computer models and sophisticated observing systems to describe and understand the atmosphere. The curriculum emphasizes math and physics basics, providing a strong foundation for an intensive study of meteorology. The curriculum, conforming to the recommendations of the American Meteorological Society, prepares students for graduate school and for jobs in industry and government.
