Transfer Pattern Description:
 
This Arts and Sciences degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Meteorology. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Meteorology draws upon many sources for it's material because of it's attempts to describe processes and changes in the atmosphere. Some of the major fields of investigation include structure of the atmosphere, temperature-pressure-density relationships, heat transfer, moisture and precipitation processes, cloud dynamics, and severe weather processes.
