Intrigued by how the Earth's hydrosphere works? Passionate about the broader issues related to water, the environment, and sustainability? Curious about how to develop this into a great career?
We can show you how to channel your curiosity and passion into a career with an undergraduate major in Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences! Choose one of two subplans: Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (ATMO) or Environmental Hydrology and Water Resources (EHY).
Programs
We offer the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program with a major in Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences with two distinct subplans, as well as the Accelerated Master's Programs (combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees) in both areas.
You can learn more about what our graduates do and where they work in the Careers and Opportunities sections.
Research & Professional Experience
Our students complement their academic study with practical and applied experiences through their field/laboratory courses, internships with employers in industry/consulting and government agencies, study abroad, and directed research with campus colleagues and external city, county, state, and federal agencies. Many of these experiences are recorded and summarized in the students' Senior Capstone Projects.
