Below is a list of meteorology and atmospheric science programs across the United States. Picking the right one for you is a very important decision. If you are interested in a track in broadcast meteorology, you’ll want to have a very clear idea of the facilities and programs in place for the university you are looking to attend. The two most important things are live daily weathercasts and a professional weather graphics computer. For more on this you can check out a post I wrote about picking schools here .

I hope you find the list helpful. If you would like to tell me about your program, or a program that you know of, I’d very much like to hear from you .

Dan Goff July 19, 2011 @ 4:32 PM As of today, you can add Virginia Tech to that list. There’s no program website yet, but the degree will be available for students beginning spring 2012. Reply dandowling3 July 19, 2011 @ 4:59 PM Thanks Dan! I’ll add it this evening. If the program gets a website, please let me know. Reply Dan Goff September 20, 2011 @ 8:09 PM There’s a program page at http://geography.vt.edu/PROGRAMS/Meteorology.htm However, it’s probably better to link to the geography department site, which will have any additional info about the program: http://geography.vt.edu/ dandowling3 September 20, 2011 @ 9:15 PM Thanks Dan, I’ll add the link right now.
