The Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS), Stony Brook University, provides rigorous interdisciplinary training in the physical behavior of the atmosphere and oceans, with two tracks: meteorology (emphasizing weather forecasting and mathematical/physical theory) and climate (emphasizing climate-related processes and issues). The program requires approximately 65 credits, including foundational coursework in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science, plus specialized atmospheric/oceanic sciences courses. Students gain practical experience through research, internships at NOAA and local TV stations, and can pursue departmental honors or a combined BS/MS track. This major prepares graduates for positions in government weather services, environmental agencies, technical fields, or further graduate study. 来源： https://www.stonybrook.edu/somas/
