Career In Meteorology

Can I get a Masters degree in civil engineering, with a BS in meteorology?

Currently I am a junior meteorology student. After my degree is complete I want to go to grad school for civil engineering. I am asking if this is possible. I have a good resume which includes a 3.72 GPA, and a NOAA Hollings scholarship. I know a lot of the math and science is the same, so I am wondering if I can just jump right in.

1. Well there's an old saying, "its not what you know its who you blow...", so I would suggest you get in contact with professors you would like to do a masters with and find out what they require. I think to be a T.A. you would have to have some of the undergrad. courses to be able to assist the students.
2. You can do anything you want so long as you can find a market for it. In the business world: can you make money off your unique services or knowledge? If you're the only person with such a unique combination of knowledge: that's a spectacular attribute so long as it's useful to either (or both) of the fields. In the academic world: can your research advance our understanding & capabilities in useful ways? Unless you can independently afford to keep yourself fed & housed without the school's help, your livelihood will depend on whether or not you can obtain grants from the government or private firms to fund your research. Think about how you want to use such a fusion of knowledge. Then research the faculty of schools to see if their expertise would be helpful toward achieving your knowledge goals.
