From what I could tell, it seems in NJ the only schools with Meteorology programs are Rutgers, Kean and Princeton. Kean is in Union - not a
terrible commute from JC and it's actually a pretty nice campus.
Also, it seems that Rutgers only offers Meteorology at NB on the Cook College Campus. Sorry.
I actually have about 8 friends who are Meteorology guys and they all say that nothing compares to the program at Penn State, but that's a whole different world and certainly not a commute from JC.
Good luck!
