Degree Requirements
The Lyndon Atmospheric Sciences curriculum is designed to prepare students for a diversity of rewarding careers. To do so, we offer a number of career concentrations for students to choose from. They include the National Weather Service, Broadcasting, Private Industry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Climate Change, and Graduate School. Career track(s) are generally chosen during the sophomore year. Atmospheric Sciences Department graduates have an understanding of the atmosphere that enables them to make a positive contribution to their profession and to society. Because students may select from different career tracks, this contribution could range from creating accurate weather forecasts, to communicating those efforts to clients or the public, to further advancing our understanding of the atmosphere through research endeavors. Regardless of their concentration, however, students are required to complete a core of study that gives them an essential foundation for understanding weather events. Our degree requirements are therefore broken down into two different categories. The first are “core” courses that every Atmospheric Science Major takes. The second group contains courses that are within your chosen career concentration(s).
