The American Meteorological Society (AMS) recommends fields such as
"geology, geodynamics, geophysics, volcanology, earth science, planetary science, astronomy, biology, ecology, statistics, physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, medical sciences, and geography."
"Also consider the fields of economics, psychology, and social and political science."
"All engineering including industrial, civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, engineering physics, and systems should be considered"
"Arts and humanities are NOT included; therefore, degrees in English, literature, philosophy, languages, journalism, communications, and business administration WOULD NOT lead to eligibility for the grade of Member."
"The following criteria will be used to determine the types of courses that count toward the required 20 semester hours:
Courses in meteorology or atmospheric sciences, climatology, oceanography, or hydrology that are part of a curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences at an accredited institution.
Courses in atmospheric or related sciences designed to fulfill a science elective requirement for a nonscience major that are offered by a department of atmospheric or related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the entire course concerns atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences.
Courses offered through a geography or earth sciences department when it is clear that they are science based and the entire course deals with the atmospheric or related oceanic and hydrologic sciences.
Correspondence courses that are accepted by accredited institutions toward a Bachelor of Science in the atmospheric or
related oceanic and hydrologic sciences."
At least 12 of your 20 credits must be in the areas of "atmospheric or oceanographic dynamics" OR "atmospheric or oceanographic thermodynamics" OR "physical meteorology or oceanography" OR "synoptic meteorology or synoptic oceanography" OR "hydrology". And you must have a minimum of two credits in four of five of these areas is required.
