Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences B.S.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Upon completion of the degree, students should be able to obtain a fundamental knowledge of atmospheric circulation, phenomena and processes.

2. Upon completion of the degree, students should be able to develop physical and quantitative understanding of the basic physical, chemical, and dynamical processes that govern weather, air quality, and climate.

3. Upon completion of the degree, students should be able to enhance quantitative reasoning and computer skills necessary to analyze and display atmospheric data.

4. Upon completion of the degree, students should be able to utilize experiential learning (e.g., weather forecasting, lab research, field research, remote sensing, internships) to apply atmospheric principles learned in the classroom.
