Overview

The graduate field of Atmospheric Science from Cornell University, offers full financial support, including tuition, stipend, and health insurance, to all students accepted into our program.

This means that we sometimes must decline applications from students who are very well qualified, but for whom we cannot identify support because the student's interests are not a good match for our research programs, or because of limited availability of external grant funds.

Programme Structure

Courses included:

Graduate students in the field of atmospheric science take courses in many departments across the university.

Course selection is made in consultation with the major advisor and other committee members, and takes into consideration the interests, prior coursework, and thesis topic of the student.

Coursework may also be required to satisfy the minor requirements.

It is not atypical for graduate students to take a combination of graduate and undergraduate courses in various departments, especially during the first two semesters of study at Cornell.
