Program Overview

Program Overview

The BSc Atmospheric Science is an interdisciplinary program that analyzes various aspects of the atmosphere including: meteorology, climate variability and prediction, atmospheric chemistry, physics, air pollution, and the interactions between land, oceans, and atmosphere.

Program Details

This interdisciplinary program is jointly sponsored by the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) and the Department of Geography. However, it also includes faculty members from the Chemistry, Land and Food Systems, and Applied Science departments. Currently, we offer major and honours options for undergraduates.

Program Objectives

Our majors and honours options provide in-depth specialization to help qualify students for graduate study in meteorology and atmospheric sciences. Students will work closely with data, integrating it with their meteorological knowledge to tackle broad issues on air quality, environment, sustainability, renewable energy, and climate variability.

Program Structure

• The program offers major and honours options for undergraduates.
  • Major options provide a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric science.
  • Honours options provide advanced research opportunities and preparation for graduate studies.

Research Areas

• The program covers various research areas, including:
  • Meteorology
  • Climate variability and prediction
  • Atmospheric chemistry
  • Physics
  • Air pollution
  • Interactions between land, oceans, and atmosphere

Program Outcomes

The BSc Atmospheric Science program aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers in meteorology, atmospheric sciences, and related fields. Graduates will be well-prepared for graduate studies and professional opportunities in government, industry, and research institutions.
