Overview

Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from Georgia Institute of Technology, students will complete a computationally and quantitatively rigorous curriculum designed to prepare them for success within AOS-related careers and graduate school opportunities.

Key facts

AOS allows students to explore the following:

How the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans evolve on a variety of space and time scales that affects all life on Earth and how we will live.
How to analyze observational data and make an effective weather forecast that helps us decide what to wear, plan events, and make logistical decisions to maximize safety and productivity.

How longer-term environmental changes in climate predict changes in habitability through sea level rise, temperature extremes, and changes in the frequency and size of weather events, including hurricanes, floods, and drought.

The curriculum aligns with American Meteorological Society (AMS) recommendations and is structured for completion of all GS-1340 requirements if desired for NWS meteorologist positions. Similarly, the program is eligible for AMS broadcast, consulting, and teaching certifications.

Along with preparing students for careers within meteorology, students will be highly competitive for private and government sector opportunities spanning agriculture, aviation, “big data” positions, energy, finance, industry, insurance, the military, software development, supply chain positions, and K-12 teaching.
