Overview

All Geography - Broadcast Meteorology majors at Ohio University receive forecasting and broadcast experience in association with the award winning WOUB-TV and will be prepared to become strong science reporters, broadening the scope of careers for which they will be well-qualified. Many past students have completed internships at news stations, and there is a strong history of placing graduates into broadcast meteorologist positions immediately after graduation.

As a geography major, students meet one-on-one with their faculty adviser every semester during advising week, and they are always welcome to talk with their adviser at any time throughout the semester whenever questions may arise. In addition to advising students about their academic programs, the departments provide timely information about internships, nationally competitive awards, and other opportunities as they arise.
