Tracks within the major  These are unofficial recommendations for which courses to select based on your interests. AOS majors are not required to choose or follow a track - these documents are purely designed to provide guidance on selection of (mostly UD) courses.

  • Meteorology track
  • Oceanography track
  • Air quality & atmospheric chemistry track

We recommend that students that are primarily interested in climate and climate change pursue the climate change major.
