Is atmospheric science a liberal arts major or a science major?

Training objectives: This major has a solid basic theory, knowledge and skills of atmospheric science. Senior professionals who can engage in scientific research, teaching, scientific and technological development and related management of atmospheric physics, atmospheric environment, atmospheric exploration, meteorology, climatology, applied meteorology and related disciplines.

Main courses: introduction to atmospheric science (introduction to earth science), atmospheric physics, atmospheric exploration, meteorology, atmospheric dynamics, modern climatology, etc.

Courses related to this major, such as dynamic meteorology, weather principle, numerical forecast, etc. , have a relatively strict mathematical and physical basis, and the reasoning of mathematical formulas is simplified by the physical characteristics of the actual atmosphere.

From the undergraduate stage, we began to dig deep into the basic research related to mathematics and physics, and few people majored in atmospheric science. Many foreign atmospheric scholars have a very good mathematical foundation. Anyway, as long as you have a good foundation in mathematics and physics in the field of earth science, it is very beneficial to further study atmospheric science.
