For petition requests relating to prerequisite and/or major requirements, such as substituting AOS 51 and 90 for similar upper division classes, please consult your departmental advisor

Tracks within the major  These are unofficial recommendations for which courses to select based on your interests. AOS majors are not required to choose or follow a track - these documents are purely designed to provide guidance on selection of (mostly UD) courses.

• Meteorology track
• Oceanography track
• Air quality & atmospheric chemistry track

We recommend that students that are primarily interested in climate and climate change pursue the climate change major.
