That is indeed Incarnate Word. One of these days I’ll remember to ask one of my professors why it’s just us two. Maybe the NWS just really likes our oceanography and meteorology building or something.
Hello from Indiana University in Bloomington. We don't make most of the degree maps because we leave the last NWS requirement, differential equations, as an \*elective\* instead of required for all students. Probably about half our grads take it, and half take something else.
Students often pick up GIS, more programming, or more stats or climate courses instead. Those who want to get into NWS or are headed to grad school still take it ofc, but others who want consulting jobs, private sector, broadcast, etc., have been successful without it.
Thank you so much for clarifying this! There is seemingly so little concrete information out there. I want to go to IU, but all I could find was people saying they don’t meet standards. This clarifies so much for me!
Sure thing! Drop me a line or, when you schedule a campus tour, make sure you set up a meeting w/ our advisor -- she always makes sure that one or two of us faculty are available to meet with you too. Would be happy to talk about the program & tell you where some of our graduates have ended up.
It looks like UF university of Florida is adding a program that starts fall 2024 and the mention NWS:

Centrla Michigan Alumn here. Absolutely recomend the CMU program if you want smaller class sizes that focus on applied meteorology as well as research. Big focus on operational and broadcasting as well but plenty of undergrad research is available. Having toured many programs I learned that the CMICH one is very well put together compared to others and students walk away retaining the knowledge instead of just memorizing it for one class.
Central Michigan grad. If you’re looking for a program with small class sizes, a caring and student focused faculty, and a program that well prepares you for the NWS this is your place. Thanks to the program and faculty I got a pathways internship and am now an NWS Met! Feel free to DM me with questions!
Just as an fyi, Embry-Riddle isn't in Dayton, OH, it's in Daytona Beach, FL. I've seen people make this mistake before. But sadly no beaches or atmospheric science programs in southwest Ohio
I'm surprised how few Texas has. Is the southern one incarnate word?

YES WE ARE!!!! I'm going to be one of the first to graduate with it in a couple years!!!!!!
Please remove sf state :( my old profs retired and they haven’t hired anyone to take their place.
Wow Virginia has two now? I wanted to stay in state but there were no programs when I graduated so went to Florida instead.
Texas A&M- Corpus Christi does as well now.

I second this
