Atmospheric Science Minor


Banner Code:  ATMS

This minor is offered by the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences  in the College of Science .

Topics include weather forecasting, climate change, and the predictability of coupled ocean-atmosphere-land-variations. Students in physics, math, engineering, and computational sciences may be attracted to this minor because it provides a compelling application of the fundamental methods of analysis learned in their major. Such students are ideal candidates for research in atmospheric science and climate dynamics; the minor will facilitate entry into graduate studies in these fields.

Students in Earth science, geography and geoinformation science, and environmental science may find this minor useful because the atmosphere is an important influence on geography, ecosystems, geological strata, and plays an important role in global change. For more information, please contact Dr. Julia Nord and Dr. Zafer Boybeyi.

This has been designated a Green Leaf program. For further information, please visit Green Leaf Programs and Courses .
