浓度的解释

的 Professional and 应用气象学 concentrations began in catalog year 2022-2023.  请浏览 目录前年份 page for degree check sheets before 2022-2023 when we did not have concentrations.

专业气象 degree is nearly identical to the degree we have always offered at 密歇根州立大学丹佛 and it conforms to the requirements for students to qualify to work for the National Weather Service (NWS)  It also fulfills the American Meteorological Society’s recommendations for a Bachelor’s degree in 气象学.  同样的,学生想要最终得到 AMS广播认证 会不会想要专业的专注.

应用气象学 concentration is rather different in that it does not require the level of math demanded by the NWS.  Although we proudly tote several alumni who work at the National Weather Service throughout the country, we found that the majority of our alumni have found employment as successful broadcast (TV) meteorologists or as meteorologists in the private sector or even as science educators.  的 应用气象学 degree is for students looking to personalize their degree a bit more than the very prescribed requirements of the 专业气象 degree.  例如, a student looking to produce or broadcast meteorology might choose to Major in 应用气象学 and minor in 新闻与媒体制作 and focus their meteorology electives on severe weather.  (然而,学生们希望最终得到 AMS广播认证 会不会想要专业的专注.)  A student looking to work in the private sector on forecasting or instrumentation might major in 应用气象学 and minor in 计算机科学 or 地理信息系统.  A student interested in climate change might major in 应用气象学 and minor in 地理位置, 环境科学, 甚至是社会学.  从2024-2025年目录开始,辅修课程是可选的.  Students might then choose to diversify their remaining credits to build their skill base in an area best for their career aspirations.  We recommend meeting with a meteorology professor for recommendations.

Students hoping to continue their studies in graduate school in Atmospheric Science (气象学) should choose the 专业气象 degree, but students open to going to graduate school for something different like 地理位置, 环境科学, 地理信息系统, or a professional master’s might be okay to choose the 应用气象学 degree.

All students are encouraged to develop their programming and mapping skills by taking courses in computer science, python, R, 和地理信息系统.  的se skills are essential to marketability and we encourage you to take them early in your degree so the skills can be practiced in your 气象学 Research Seminar course.

两个浓度共享一个气象学核心, 然后分门别类,开设自己的必修课, 然后有他们自己的气象学选修课清单.  Use the accordions above by hitting the plus sign to see the requirements for each concentration.

Students on older catalogs may declare the 应用浓度 by moving up their catalog to 2024-2025.  Students on older catalogs wanting the Professional concentration shouldn’t bother, 原来的学位基本上是一样的.  请浏览 以前的目录年份页 for degree check sheets for 2023-2024 and previous years.

All current students can see their current catalog and requirements by visiting their 学位进度报告 and may also choose to try a “What If” report to see how their coursework might fit into a different catalog.  请找指导老师聊天!
