Meteorology

Summary

Saint Louis University's minor in meteorology introduces students to approaches, tools and data used by meteorologists. A minor in meteorology is a good option for SLU students who will have direct interactions with meteorologists, including students in aviation, civil engineering, business and pre-law. Students pursuing a career in broadcasting may also consider a minor in meteorology to gain experience in broadcast meteorology.

Meteorology is more than just the study of weather; it includes all of the atmosphere's characteristics, structures and processes. Basic principles of physics and chemistry are applied to discover what makes the atmosphere work. Mathematical equations and techniques are used to predict the weather based on present conditions. Recently, meteorology has become increasingly vital to humankind’s concerns. Ozone depletion and global warming have been identified as threats to human existence. Meteorologists are on the front lines of the battle to learn more about and model these phenomena.

A fascination with the atmosphere and the vast range of phenomena that it generates is critical to success in the program. Students pursuing a minor in meteorology will have direct interactions with our faculty and opportunities to engage with professional meteorologists from both the National Weather Service and the broadcasting industry.
