Notes
a. All certificate
students must include at least one climatology course in their program
of study. The approved climatology courses are the following: ENGR/GEOG
4161: Environmental Microclimatology, GEOG 3110: Climatology, GEOG 4160:
Applied Climatology, and GEOG 4150: Physical Climatology (pending approval).
b. Students wishing
to meet the civil service educational requirements to be employed as a
meteorologist must take GEOG 4160: Satellite Meteorology/Climatology (3)
and GEOG 4120: Synoptic Meteorology/Climatology (3).
c. For students
not wishing to meet civil service requirements, PHYS 3320/L: Introduction
to Electronics (3), PHYS 3330/L: Modern Optics (3), PHYS 3900: Mathematical
Methods in Physics (3), PHYS 4101: Theoretical Mechanics I (3), PHYS 4201:
Electricity and Magnetism I (3), and PHYS 4300: Thermodynamics and Kinetic
Theory (3) are considered atmospheric sciences electives.
d. Majors must
take ASTR 3010 and choose at least two from ASTR 3020, ASTR 4010, and ASTR
4020
