Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences – METEOROLOGY
College of Science, Engineering, and Technology
If you have ever wondered scientifically, “why” something is the way it is, or “how” can something exist or behave the way it does, then you’ve entered the realm of physics. Physics is the most fundamental of all sciences, and is the study of nature that is all around us. Physicists try to understand the most basic laws that govern the behavior of nature.
Meteorology
The Jackson State University Atmospheric Science/Meteorology Program is comprised of key components: basic curricula, academic support, research, and outreach. Together, these elements form a supportive framework for the preparation of minority atmospheric scientists. The program emphasizes student learning and professional readiness, increasing the number of African American atmospheric scientists and graduate students, and expanding research and development in basic and applied research, computer-related training, and outreach efforts.
Our Bachelor of Science in Meteorology program is designed to prepare students for meteorology careers and graduate study. We also educate students from other disciplines about atmospheric characteristics and phenomena.
The B.S. in Meteorology is the only degree program in Meteorology in Mississippi and in its neighboring states.
