The Department of Atmospheric Science & Chemistry offers four-year degrees in chemistry and meteorology.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
Prepares students for employment as chemists or post-graduate study in the fields of chemistry, medicine, dentistry, and other health professions. Available options:
The Bachelor of Science in Meteorology
Offers students a solid foundation in theoretical and applied meteorology, as well as opportunities for original research and internships.
The Masters of Science in Applied Meteorology
Provides students who already have a BS degree additional preparation for an active career in meteorology, along with opportunities to participate in grant funded research.
Minors
Chemistry
