Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and has many facets, including climate and climate variability, weather forecasting, cloud and precipitation physics, severe weather and hurricanes. Atmospheric scientists frequently develop and use computer models and sophisticated observing systems to describe and understand the atmosphere. Today’s meteorologists find rewarding and challenging jobs in industry, government, and education in such fields as space technology, air transportation, environmental impacts assessment, communication, agriculture, weather forecasting and basic research.
The Rosenstiel School offers a Bachelor of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science with a major in Meteorology. In addition to the General Education Requirements, the following courses are required for the Meteorology major:
Marine and Atmospheric Science (28 credits):
MSC103, MSC111, MSC118, MSC243, MSC303, MSC305, MSC405, MSC406, MSC407, MSC409.
Mathematics (20 credits)*:
MTH111, MTH112, MTH210, MTH224, MTH310, and MTH311**
*Double majors in ECS and CBR must take either MTH224 or MTH311, but are not required to take both.
**Students may substitute MTH320 for MTH311.
Physics and Chemistry (14 credits):
PHY205, PHY206, PHY207, PHY208. CHM111, CHM113.
Computer Science (4 credits):
CSC120 or suitable elective.
Although Meteorology is approved as a single major program, students often combine Meteorology with a second major in such diverse fields as mathematics, broadcast journalism, or ecosystem science and policy. Sample curricula can be found at www.meteorology.miami.edu.
