North Carolina State University. In 2006, they predicted the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean to be a below normal year, while about 1,000 other universities were presuring them into predicting an above normal season. Once the season was over, NCSU gained national recognition among the meteorologist community.

I think if you're going to pick just one it would be MIT. But there are many fine schools that are better in some areas than MIT. Penn State, UCLA, Arizona, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Washington are all great. There are many lesser known schools where you can get a wonderful education too. My suggestion would be that wherever you go, take as much physics and math as you can. It wouldn't hurt know computers too.

San Francisco State University, San Jose State University and UC Davis all schools that teach meteorology in California.. NOAA partners with SFSU and SJSU... All these schools are located in California.

In Indiana the best to choose from are Purdue and Ball State (public schools) and Valparasio(private school). Although on the public schools I would give purdue the edge.

Purdue University has a wonderful school, and at least 5 meteorologists at the weather channel that I know of, went to Purdue University in Indiana

Penn State has the number one overall meteorology program in america for undergrad. If you are looking to specialize in hurricanes Miami is number one in that area. If severe weather, Oklahoma is number one in that category.
