Bachelor of Science in Meteorology

Meteorology is the study of the Earth's atmosphere, a component of Earth-system science. A meteorologist predicts the weather and, nowadays, climatic change on longer time scales than the weather. Meteorology students become experts in math and physics, build a comprehensive knowledge of meteorology, and gain in-depth exposure to fields like oceanography, geology, space science, environmental science, climate science, and atmospheric chemistry.

Whether you want to become a broadcast meteorologist, storm tracker, or world weather expert, a meteorology degree from Florida Tech will give you a strong background in physics and chemistry with experience in environmental science and technology.

A unique and memorable component of each student's first-year experience in the meteorology degree program is the Whole Earth Course. This class integrates biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and mathematics, leading students to experience and understand our planet as a system of interacting processes.

Meteorology students are invited to work alongside faculty on weather research and often begin projects during their first few weeks on campus. Later, as a senior, youll refine your practical skills in technical electives and specialized labs, and complete an exciting research project on a topic of your choosing. You will receive practical experience, an enhanced job search portfolio, and the perfect preparation for graduate and professional school.
