Areas of ConcentrationAreas 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).
