Areas of Concentration

• Flight Weather
• Students complete a minor in Aeronautical Science
  and are eligible to take the FAA Dispatcher
  Certification exam.
• Commercial Weather
• Students complete a minor in business, giving
  them a better sense of the business decision
  making process of those that they advise.
• Media Weather
• Students complete a minor in communications, thus
  giving them the formal training to help make them
  effective communicators.
• Research
• Students may complete a minor in Mathematics by
  careful planning and one additional course (as
  part of their general elective credits).
