This represents one possible pathway to the completion of the B.S. Meteorology degree during the standard four-year college program and assumes the student will be placed into MATH 136 as a freshman. You may need more than four years to complete the degree if you are placed in a mathematics course below MATH 136. Your advisor will assist you in crafting a program of study suitable to your needs.
