Join our meteorology team

Meteorology students are provided the opportunity to study meteorology in the natural laboratory of the Great Plains region of the United States. Students can use this opportunity to apply the classroom theory and fundamentals in a real-world and real-time forecasting application. On average these course trips travel several thousand miles encompassing many states. While you do not have to be a meteorology major to participate in these experiences, you will likely become one once the trip has concluded.
