Pre-Atmospheric Sciences Program - L

Preparation for the Atmospheric Sciences Program

Motivated students whose science or math background needs to be improved for a successful college experience in atmospheric sciences are enrolled in this preparatory group of courses.  Students typically include one or more mathematics courses to prepare for college pre-calculus (the starting mathematics course in atmospheric sciences degree programs) and a physics course to prepare for college calculus-based physics (the starting physics course in atmospheric sciences degree programs).  Students beginning their study of atmospheric sciences with these preparatory courses will require at least five years for a B.S. degree in atmospheric sciences.
