With the appropriate choice of courses our graduates can satisfy the requirements for civilian employment in the Federal meteorological agencies. A new graduate may be commissioned as a meteorological officer in the Air Force or Navy or appointed to a meteorological internship in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A few of our graduates have made careers in computer science (e.g., the former Director of the University’s Computing Center).

Our B.S program in atmospheric sciences at the University of Hawaii meets the Federal GS 1340 requirements for an operational meteorologist. A link to the Federal requirements is given here.
