Geography degrees can either take the form of Bachelors Of Arts or Bachelors Of Science degrees. Bachelors of Science degrees usually involved studying physical geography, whereas BA degrees tend to focus on human geography. These are the two main divisions of degrees, and each would leave you in a different direction professionally.

There are many colleges out there that offer online degrees in meteorology. You will just need to choose the right one for your situation. You will need to consider the accreditation of the program, the geographical location, the specialization, the type of degree, whether the school is non-profit or for-profit, tuition and fees, student reviews, and your interest in the school. There are multiple sites where you can search for schools.

For a thorough list, see below as well as the related link. For advice on some of the most highly-ranked programs, I would say that the following are at the top: Penn State, Oklahoma, and Cornell, with excellent programs also at Millersville (PA), Ohio State, Miami, Florida State, Purdue, Colorado State, NC State, Rutgers, Wisconsin, UCLA, SUNY Albany, Iowa State, UW(ashington), Illinois, and Utah. You can't go wrong with any of those, and there are also many other fine accredited universities. You do have a lot of options in meteorology, although maybe not nearly as many as some of the more common majors. Grad school is quite different, since different schools tend to "specialize" in different areas of the field. Some of the best grad schools include Oklahoma, Penn State, Washington, Wisconsin, Florida State, and Colorado State.

For colleges and universities within the United States and its territories, you can obtain this information by clicking on the related links section (College Board) indicated at the bottom of this answer section and using the College Board site College MatchMaker search engine. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study (majors), entrance requirements, tuition and fees, financial assistance, room and board, athletic programs, school activities, etc., and a link to each institutions official web page. Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university within the United States, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Regional Accreditation Agencies

· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

· North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

· Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities - Postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities) in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

· Western Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, and Northern Marianas Islands.

What is the difference between air force meteorology and normal meteorology?

I am a meteorologist who, in addition to other schools, attended the Air Force meteorology school in Biloxi, MS. Air Force meteorology focuses more on aviation weather instead of surface-based meteorology. Meaning on how weather will affect aviation/mission readiness/mission outcomes/how to prepare for flight etc - whereas regular meteorology looks at surface-based meteorology, meaning how will the weather affect ground-based populations etc.
