At the university level, what courses should I take?

To become a meteorologist, college students need to follow the course of study recommended by the atmospheric science departments in their colleges and universities. While these vary, most schools of higher education require that their students take (in addition to their general education requirements) an array of courses in geoscience, mathematics, chemistry and physics, plus courses that prepare students for their specialty areas.
