Overview of Curriculum

 

The Department offers four main undergraduate programs in Atmospheric Science: Honours, Major, Minor, and Joint Major in Atmospheric Sciences and Physics.

The Minor program allows students to have some concentration in the atmospheric sciences.

The Major program satisfies the requirements for a professional career as meteorologist, and like the Honours program equips the student to undertake postgraduate study in meteorology, atmospheric science, and related sciences (for example, Physical oceanography) at any of the leading universities.

The Honours program is meant for students with high standing. It is based on courses similar to those in the Major program, but provides the opportunity to take advanced courses and to take part in a research project.

The Department also offers a special one-year Diploma program to B.Sc. graduates.

At the graduate level, the department offers programs leading to both the Master of Sciene and Ph.D. degrees.
