METEOROLOGY ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2009 and after) |
|
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab,
Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
To complete a major in Meteorology, you need to complete a minimum of 35 hours of departmental coursework with a departmental GPA of 2.0 or higher; the required coursework in Mathematics constitute your required minor; chemistry, physics, and statistics courses complete the required coursework. For liberal studies, GEA1000x is recommended for all Meteorology majors. Ideally Meteorology students would be prepared to enter their first semester in MAC2311. If you start in MAC1105 or 1114 and 1140, you should be prepared to take summer courses in the event you fall behind or need to retake a course.
