This track is designed for students who have an undergraduate degree in meteorology and seek graduate level training in meteorology and atmospheric science and experience in weather forecasting. The curriculum includes graduate-level course work in atmospheric dynamics, preparation of weather forecasts, the use of numerical models, satellite, Doppler radar, and upper air data, and the application of this information to support a variety of specialized end-users, including agriculture, utilities, insurance, transportation, construction and other weather-sensitive industries. This track also fosters skills in public communication in the context of professional weather forecasting. Our graduates have gone to positions in the National Weather Service and many private companies in weather-related industries.
