Energy - Certificate
This program provides a broad energy education that enhances quantitative skills for the analysis, simulation and optimization of energy systems, and prepares students for practical applications, challenges and opportunities.
The Energy certificate can be completed in as little as ten months through either in-person or via distance education (synchronous or asynchronous). It is suitable for both students coming directly from undergraduate programs and professionals looking to advance or pivot in their careers.
The interdisciplinary curriculum includes an overview of energy technologies (fossil-based, renewable and non-fossil based), multi-scale energy systems engineering methods, security, energy economics, entrepreneurship, law and policy, and societal impact. Instructors are chosen from multiple colleges and departments at Texas A&M. Each 1.5 credit hour modular course is taught over a ten-day period, and certificate students may choose any ten courses to complete certificate requirements.
Information about specific program requirements for the Energy certificate, or the Master of Science in Energy, are available upon request from the graduate advisor and on the Certificate in Energy website.
This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous or synchronous distance education technology.
