Program Description: The meteorology program is designed to prepare students for transfer to a four-year school to complete a bachelor’s degree in meteorology or a related field in the geosciences. 

Program Outcomes:

By the conclusion of this program students will have:

• A foundational understanding of meteorology and the elementary application of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the field.
• The ability to collect and analyze meteorological data from web-based sources for the purpose of understanding the current state of the atmosphere as well as its’ future evolution.
• Demonstrated effective communication of meteorological information.
• Completed the required coursework in mathematics, physics, and chemistry needed to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic processes present in Earth’s atmosphere.
