Overview
The Energy and Environment (EE) Program aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively address energy and environmental challenges. Over the course of the program, students will gain a broad perspective on the current energy system and future alternatives; a fundamental understanding of science and technology as it relates to energy and environment; background in the economics, policy and business of energy; first-hand exposure to the energy sector and energy leaders; critical skills in data analysis and modeling; and experience with communication, facilitation, project management, and teamwork.
Energy use is one of the most complex and multi-faceted problems influencing the future of the environment. Students wishing to complete the energy and environment program will need to complete coursework that addresses energy across multiple disciplines, covering science and technology, economics, business, policy, and law. The program is organized along four broad themes: science and technology, markets and policy, tools, and energy electives. The curriculum requires students to take core courses in these areas and complete the master's seminar and project.
Prerequisites: calculus, statistics, and introductory microeconomics (or general economics that focuses on microeconomics rather than macroeconomics) required.
