Our alumni network features leaders such as National Weather Service directors, TV meteorologists, numerous forecasters for the NWS and Air Force, private-sector weather and financial analysts, and university professors. At FSU, graduate students gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience through coursework and collaborative research with faculty experts specializing in various atmospheric science disciplines, from synoptic and dynamic meteorology to hurricanes, climate change, remote sensing, greenhouse gases, and air quality. The Ph.D. program culminates in an original research dissertation completed under faculty supervision. While most Ph.D. applicants possess a Master's in Meteorology (or a related field) from FSU or another institution, exceptional candidates with only a bachelor's degree may also be admitted.
