I put together an excel spreadsheet of all the core met., NWS track, gen ed, and computer science courses I would need to take and it works out. I'm wonder, however, if instead of a B.S. in Computing I should go for the A.S. in Computing. The A.S. is 28 credits. Maybe I might as well just take the extra 6 credits to get the bachelor's, which would normally be 53 credits with the Atmos. Sci track of the program. I'll have to do some research.

I'll be starting on my B.S. in Atmos. Sci next fall at Lyndon State. After reading this thread I'm considering double majoring in computer science - they require a track for the "Computer Studies" degree, one of which is Atmospheric Science, and I'll be taking those classes already anyway. The double major therefore would require about 34 additional credits. I was planning on doing broadcasting/NWS "tracks" for the met degree, each of which are 15 credits. My ultimate goal has been, like many, a job in the NWS, but figured taking the broadcasting courses would be a good idea since I also like the broadcasting field of meteorology. Would it be beneficial to do the Comp. Studies major instead of broadcasting track? I've known about the lack of/difficult of getting jobs in the field however wasn't quite aware of how useful Computer Sci could be.
