Students who successfully finish the M.S. program will gain the expertise and skills necessary to pursue careers in atmospheric science. This preparation comes from completing a core curriculum, selecting from diverse graduate electives, and engaging in research projects with faculty advisors. M.S. graduates are equipped for rewarding professional opportunities in private industry, consulting, and various government organizations. They may also opt to further their education by entering the Ph.D. program.
