Applied Meteorology Degree
...a new undergraduate degree program! Apply Today!

The Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Meteorology provides a practical understanding of the physics and dynamics of the atmosphere and prepares the graduate for a range of meteorologist positions in government or industry.

Students use a state-of-the-art Weather Center and computer-equipped classrooms to understand and forecast complex atmospheric phenomena ranging from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, to cyclones, fronts and jet streams, to global climate and how it is changing. Emphasis is placed on applying theory to operational weather forecasting and decision making for weather-sensitive industries, including possible hands-on experience as a meteorology intern. Students can choose from three areas of concentration: Research, Meteorology with Flying and Military Meteorologist.

The program prepares graduating students for careers as meteorologists or weather forecasters with the government, military, television or the private sector, or for graduate studies toward a career in research. The program meets all the requirements for undergraduate study in meteorology recommended by the American Meteorological Society, the National Weather Service and the US Air Force. Graduates also meet U.S. Office of Personnel Management Qualification Standards for the position of Meteorologist. To apply, visit http://www.erau.edu/pr/admissions/index.html.
