Program Overview

We provide a full program of study leading to Bachelors (B.S.), Masters (M.S.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Atmospheric Science. Part of the Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Science, the UC Davis Atmospheric Science program offers excellent opportunities for students.

Our B.S. program conforms to the national accreditation standards set by the National Weather Service and the American Meteorological Society. Small class sizes foster student-instructor interaction.  Check out additional information for prospective undergraduate students.

The M.S. and Ph.D. programs are overseen by the Atmospheric Science Graduate Group. ASGG is composed of facutly and students from across departments and colleges. Collaboration is extensive and encouraged. Our graduate program targets a diverse range of specialties including:

• Atmospheric Chemistry and Air Quality
• Biometeorology and Micrometeorology
• Mesoscale and Boundary-Layer Meteorology
• Large-Scale and Climate Dynamics
• Computational Geosciences
• Extreme Weather
• Climate Change Impacts
