The Department of Atmospheric Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science degree with three concentrations that prepare students for employment upon graduation or for further studies at the graduate level. The Broadcast Meteorology concentration fulfills requirements for the American Meteorological Society’s Certified Broadcast Meteorologist program and prepares students for a career communicating weather and climate information to the public. Both the Climatology and Weather Forecasting concentrations fulfill federal Civil Service requirements for employment as a meteorologist. The Climatology concentration provides strong preparation for graduate work with specialization in climatology and mathematics. The Weather Forecasting concentration focuses on weather analysis and forecasting techniques. Students are encouraged to focus their career objectives through enrollment in cooperative education and internship courses.
As one of the nation’s largest weather data centers, Asheville is home to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and UNC Asheville’s National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center (NEMAC), offering atmospheric sciences majors unique internship opportunities and career connections.
