You've already got the journalism degree in-hand, so all you really need is to get your AMS stamp of approval, and MSU would do that for you. Good luck.

I have a BA in Broadcast Journalism but want to focus on getting into broadcast meteorology. I currently live in Los Angeles and I know UCLA has atmospheric science programs. Should I be looking into a major in this or a 2nd bachelors degree? I’m not sure I have enough of the undergrad requirements to succeed in a majors program, especially the math classes. I'm also from Chicago and I'm familiar with COD which could also be an option for me if Cali is not the place I should be for classes. Thanks! Thanks for the info Brian!

They focus on what you will encounter in a job atmosphere forecasting and also research. The faculty members are outstanding! I am a recent graduate and have been hired by the National Weather Service, I know of four others that have also been placed in the NWS in just the past three years and numerous others that have been placed in broadcasting meteorology across the United States.

I have a communications (media studies) degree from San Diego State. Although its not a broadcasting degree that is offered with in Communication studies i did take broadcasting courses to receive the media degree. Could this possibly enable me to land a broadcasting job? I am currently have 2 years into a 4 year tour with the coast guard. Unfortunately, the coast guard has no career paths with in meteorology. Do you have any idea on how difficult it would be to get accepted back into a university already having a BA. Would they take high school and college transcripts? I took little math and physics as prereqs. I feel like i would almost be starting entirely over. I am aware my questions are broad but any little insight could help. Thanks Jonathn Hello Brain.

I think the tornado took the house and they moved just across the Mayes/Rogers county line. There name was Linscott. If you read this Brian you may have known them. They lived there for a lot of years until they passed. I lived with them for several years. By the way, my mother was pregnant with me when the tornado struck in Pryor. Her and my dad left their apartment building moments before it blew away! I guess I dodged the proverbial "bullet" before I was even born! The hill Brian spoke of may have been my grandparents place.
