Overview

This pursuit inherently involves an interdisciplinary approach through the combination of advanced coursework in mathematics, chemistry, physics, statistics, computer science, geology, earth sciences, and meteorology with emphasis on recent basic and applied research.

The Meteorology program of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is designed to provide the next generation of meteorologists with sufficient knowledge and skills to:

effectively monitor and analyze the atmospheric state across a spectrum of temporal and geospatial scales

provide accurate and timely forecasts of ordinary and severe weather

address relevant contemporary challenges such as global and region climate change, human interactions with the natural environment, and the development of resilient and sustainable communities.

To this end, the core meteorological curriculum is composed of courses that collectively provide a broad treatment of multi-scale atmospheric processes, including atmospheric thermodynamics and physics as well as synoptic, dynamic, and mesoscale meteorology.

Meteorology

The Meteorology program focuses on the atmosphere. Students pursuing the B.S. degree take courses describing and explaining processes in the atmosphere, with traditional coursework in synoptic, dynamic, physical and boundary layer meteorology. Ancillary coursework in oceanography, applied climatology, and air quality modeling are also available.

Students majoring in meteorology pursue employment in weather forecasting - private and public, air quality, climatology or atmospheric research. Students majoring in meteorology pursue employment in government with the National Weather Service or through service in the United States Air Force and careers in industry either through broadcasting or with consulting companies and public utilities.
