Meteorology

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

To complete a major in Meteorology, you need to complete a minimum of 35 hours of departmental coursework with a departmental GPA of 2.00 or higher; the required coursework in Mathematics constitutes your required minor; chemistry, physics, and statistics courses complete the required coursework.

Ideally Meteorology students would be prepared to enter their first semester in MAC2311. If you start in MAC1105 or 1114 and 1140, you should be prepared to take summer courses in the event you fall behind or need to retake a course.
