Elena,
John has a great answer for you. I'll just build off of this and offer up advice that a degree in broadcast journalism can be very beneficial for you if you're not able to find something related to meteorology specifically. Journalists often have a "beat", or a specific topic that they cover over time and become very well versed in. You may even find that you enjoy environmental journalism if you already have meteorology in mind. There are many options out there to explore!

Hi Elena! Since broadcast meteorology is a very specific major program and career field it is better that you try to look for programs that are a bit broader to get you to being a broadcaster or journalist in meteorology in the future. For example, for your intended career in broadcast meteorology, look at schools that have good broadcast/journalism programs and environmental science minors or concentrations to give you a great overview and understanding of both industries to prepare you for the broadcast meteorology role in the future.
