Meteorology focuses on day-to-day weather; in climate science the focus is on the evolution of Earth's climate. We train students to measure, analyze, model and predict the state of the atmosphere into the next week and on into the next century, offering undergraduate and graduate programs that are strong in both theoretical and applied courses. Among our alumni are weather forecasters, air pollution specialists, environmental consultants, science teachers, university professors, science writers and top scientists in the National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and NASA. We are one of the most research-active departments on campus, enabling students at all levels to participate and benefit from supervised research activities.
