Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Meteorology

This program will provide students with the expertise necessary to attend graduate school, forecast for the National Weather Service, broadcast weather for television and radio, or work in the commercial weather industry. Meteorology is the study of weather and all processes that affect weather. It is a rapidly evolving science with significant relevance to society. From climate change to severe storms, meteorologists apply theoretical understanding to observe and modeled atmospheric processes to create forecasts and conduct research. Graduates of the meteorology program at CMU will find a variety of career opportunities. Some of these may require additional education: atmospheric scientist, chief meteorologist, climatologist, lead forecaster, military base forecaster, operational meteorologist, research meteorologist, and U.S. government meteorologist.
