Diploma in Meteorology

Students with a general 90 credit hour BSc degree in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, or other quantitative disciplines, may apply for admission into a one year Diploma in Meteorology program, provided they have completed the appropriate Physics and Mathematics courses. A strong background in Physics and Mathematics is necessary, and courses taken should cover Vector Calculus and differential equations. More information on the Diploma in Meteorology program is available at http://atm.dal.ca/Diploma_in_meteorology/.
