Program overview

What the University of Kansas says about their program:

Four specialized options are available for students who plan professional careers in meteorology or atmospheric science. During the final year in the program, students are required to do a graduation check. Final degree checks are done by the College Advising & Student Services staff of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (109 Strong Hall). As part of this check, students will also need to meet with the Undergraduate Advisor in the Geography Department to check the Geography or Atmospheric Science major requirements. It is strongly recommended that students consult with a Geography advisor on a regular basis to make certain that, at each stage in their program, they are meeting all of the requirements for the degree.
