UWM student Charles Smith
The University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee (UWM) offers
bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in the atmospheric
sciences. The program, which consists of 7 faculty and
approximately 15 graduate and 30 undergraduate students,
prepares students for career pursuits by stressing breadth
of knowledge in course studies in the various sub-fields of
atmospheric science and the development of quantitative
thinking through a unique emphasis on the mathematical and
computational aspects of the discipline. In addition, the
program offers students real operational experience through
the Innovative
Weather Program (IW), where students provide
weather-based decision support for paying community clients.
Through IW and other initiatives, the program maintains
strong ties with regional employers in both the private
sector and the National Weather Service, where many of our
recent graduates have been placed.
