Western Kentucky University

Almost all EMT/paramedic programs in the United States are offered by community colleges or hospitals, not universities. This is because you do not need a degree to become an EMT -- you just need certification training. Based on your search criteria, I've done a search for you and come up with the following: Arkansas Tech University - Russellville, AR Brigham Young University-Idaho - Rexburg, ID Dixie State College of Utah - Saint George, UT Eastern Kentucky University - Richmond, KY Fairmont State University - Fairmont, WV Idaho State University - Pocatello, ID Indiana University Bloomington - Bloomington, IN Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis - Indianapolis, IN Jefferson College of Health Sciences - Roanoke, VA Macon State College - Macon, GA Mesa State College - Grand Junction, CO Montana State University: Billings - Billings, MT Oregon Health & Science University - Portland, OR Shawnee State University - Portsmouth, OH Springfield College - Springfield, MA University of Alabama at Birmingham - Birmingham, AL University of Arkansas at Monticello - Monticello, AR University of Maryland: Baltimore County - Baltimore, MD University of New Mexico - Albuquerque, NM Weber State University - Ogden, UT Western Carolina University - Cullowhee, NC Western Kentucky University - Bowling Green, KY Youngstown State University - Youngstown, OH You'll need to further narrow those down to determine the NCAA level that you'd like. I can tell you off-hand that Indiana University is the most prestigious of the bunch. Go to http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp to do a more specialized search. Keep in mind that swim team positions will be much more competitive at some, particularly those with higher admissions standards. Good luck.

Vanderbilt University is located in Nashville and it's one of the highest ranked schools in the state and the country.

There are 5 colleges with meterology programs in the southeast - Daytona State College, Florida Institute of Technology, University of Miami, University of North Carlina at Charlotte, and Western Kentucky University. I didn't actually look at the programs so I don't know if it is an actually meterology program or an emphasis within another program like physics. You may also want to consider programs like atmospheric physics dynamics, atmospheric dynamics, engineering science, environmental science, physical science, or planetary science. I would recommend looking into atmospheric science in addition to meteorology. Schools in the southeast that have atmospheric science include - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida State University, Jackson State University, Miami Dade College, North Carolina State University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, University of North Carolina at Asheville, & University of South Alabama. The second website will give you information about being a meteorologist and how to become a meterologist. Good luck.

now... i'm not just saying this because i go there, cause i don't think much about the school. Western Kentucky University has one of the BEST broadcast journalism colleges in the country. Brand new facilities and technology.

Yeah I figured I would get some naysayers telling me school was a no. So I'm going to answer my own Question for kids out there with bad grades. I applied at 3 colleges. So far I have gotten into my 2 longshot schools and haven't heard from the safety school yet. Yeah fools, I got into Western Kentucky University and Middle Tennessee State University. So all you kids out there with shitty GPA's. DO NOT fret. The key to it all is a good ACT score. You barely even need to pass high school. Just find a school with weird admissions requirements. Like the schools that accepted me. WKU accepts people with an ACT of 20. MTSU accepts those with 22 or higher. This also goes the other way. If for some reason you had a good GPA, or even a crappy one(the lowest guaranteed admission I was able to spot after weeks of college admissions browsing was a 2.0) you will still be able to find Guaranteed Admission somewhere. So kids with bad grades can go to college after all? ------------------------------- -Hello(below) Try Stark State, it's a community college but it's actually pretty good (I took a few classes there). You don't need a high GPA or even an ACT score. If you cover your general requirements there and maintain an okay GPA, you'll be able to transfer to wherever you'd like (Walsh, Mount Union, Kent, Akron, etc.) ------------------------- Dude as a student of Canton CIty Schools, Our Lady of Peace, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, and Canton Central Catholic High School, what I'm look I'm looking for is to get away. I went to school with maybe 15% of Stark State or Kent State Stark. Those schools suck. I hate Ohio. I answered my own question. I got into good schools and got my act together. All because I got a 22 on my ACT. That's all. I don't even know my GPA. It could have been 1.6. Just get good ACT scores you athletes/bad kids.
