Master of Professional Studies in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
Program Overview
The MPS program is designed for meteorologists, oceanographers and environmental scientists who need cutting-edge skills and knowledge in atmospheric and oceanic science, in the computational methods used in our field, and in air quality science. AOSC will work continually with local and national employers of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences to tailor our course work to the practical needs of their employees and managers.
Program Description
The degree is earned by successful completion of ten 3-credit courses. Students must complete two out of the following three Certificate programs, each of which consists of four courses, plus two courses from the remaining Certificate Program.- Certificate #1: Computational Methods in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
- Develops computer skills needed to understand weather and climate analysis and prediction technologies.
- Certificate #2: General Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
- Provides a broad phenomenological understanding of weather and climate, and the dynamical, thermodynamical and radiative prcesses that drive them.
- Certificate #3: Air Quality Science and Technology
- Teaches the physical and chemical principles that govern air quality and allow for analysis and prediction of extreme weather.
