<p>So yeah, just basically looking for a list. Where are the best undergrad Atmospheric Sciences/Meteorology programs? I'll list the ones I've heard of off the bat.</p>
<p>University of Wisconsin-Madison
University of Illinois-Urbana/Champagne (not an amazing program, but good nonetheless)
University of Hawaii</p>
<p>Where else?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Check out University of Colorado at Boulder. The National Center for Atmospheric Research is in Boulder as well.</p>
<p>Help please?

<p>I just saw that Mississippi State’s Weather forecasting team won a national award - wxchalleng - for the third year in a row against 70 other schools (second this year was Penn, last was MIT)…for whatever that’s worth??</p>
<p>Can’t forget University at Albany, SUNY. Excellent professors, student interconnections/groups, pretty cheap tuition. </p>
