Meteorology examines Earth's atmospheric phenomena and is a key branch of Earth system science. Meteorologists forecast weather by analyzing atmospheric patterns, while aviation meteorologists specialize in applying this knowledge to the aviation sector. Students in aviation meteorology programs master mathematics and physics, develop thorough meteorological understanding, and explore related disciplines including oceanography, geology, space studies, environmental science, climatology, and atmospheric chemistry.
The aviation meteorology with flight program allows students to personalize their education through various specializations like air traffic management, multiengine commercial piloting with instrument certification, FAA flight dispatch, regional airline operations with ExpressJet, or flight instruction. The air traffic control curriculum fulfills the Federal Aviation Administration's collegiate training initiative standards and carries FAA accreditation.
Florida Tech's aviation meteorology with flight program equips graduates with robust aviation expertise, hands-on experience with contemporary meteorological tools, and knowledge of industry standards.
