Develop your knowledge and analysis of weather and climates through the Colleges’ Atmospheric Science program. Available either as a minor or concentration in geoscience, you’ll get to work hands-on with trained meteorologists in a cross-disciplinary program that weaves together rigorous scientific exploration and human interaction, preparing you for future endeavors in Atmospheric Science.
Exploring the social, economic and political ramifications of climate change and its relationship to Atmospheric Science has been the focus of Alex’s academic career. This work has landed her an internship with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship.
At Hobart and William Smith, learning goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. You’ll gain high-impact practical experience that deepens learning and opens doors.

Study climate change’s effect on poverty in Germany or how animals adapt to drought in South Korea.
Wherever you go, you’ll apply classroom knowledge, develop cultural understanding and build global connections that expand your personal capacity and sense of purpose.
Learn the basics and then hone your analytical skills in Atmospheric Science.
Take an in-depth look at many of the fundamental aspects of the atmosphere. Understand severe weather, factors influencing climate and how these phenomena impact every part of our lives.
Examine the past, present and future of Earth’s climate changes through discussions, data analysis and climate modelling in addition to comparing Earth’s natural fluctuations with our current situation.
Discover day-to-day weather patterns with an emphasis on understanding the basics of meteorological processes and forecasting, independent analysis of weather events and mastery of hands-on data analysis.
Jeremiah’s fascination with meteorology started when he was a child. After an intro geoscience course, he decided to declare his major with a meteorology concentration, leading the way to summer research with faculty and internships that prepared him for his post-graduate work.
