Impact the way society copes and adapts to climate change with advanced knowledge of climate systems and processes that govern the atmosphere. Participate in field research that exposes students to tactical application of skills like how to measure atmospheric conditions that predict future weather patterns.
The master’s in atmospheric science program at the University at Albany can build the foundation for a robust career in the public or private sector in areas like meteorology, education or climate analysis.
With a focus on research, students will study with faculty who specialize in atmospheric dynamics, physics, and chemistry, or climate science.
Through coursework, students will develop broad knowledge of the physical processes that govern the atmosphere and oceans. With guided research, students will specialize in synoptic, tropical, and mesoscale meteorology (extreme weather), atmospheric chemistry and physics (active gases and particles), or climate and environmental systems (climate prediction), culminating in their master’s thesis.
