Master of Science in Energy

The program provides a broad energy education that enhances quantitative skills for the analysis, simulation, and optimization of energy systems, and preparation for practical applications, challenges and opportunities.

The Master of Science in Energy offers thesis and non-thesis options that can be completed in as little as 10 months. Students may attend either in person or via distance education. The program 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, and seminars are delivered by distinguished energy leaders and experts in academia, industry, and government. Students may choose an elective course theme in Resilient and Sustainable Energy, Energy Policy and Management, or Energy Digitization or take courses from each of these themes. Each 1.5 credit hour modular course is taught over a 10-day period with little overlap between courses. Thesis MS students conduct research under the supervision of faculty members affiliated with the Texas A&M Energy Institute and are required to submit and defend a research thesis.

Information about specific program requirements for the MS in Energy or the Certificate in Energy are available upon request from the graduate advisor and on our website: https://energy.tamu.edu/education/.

This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous distance education technology.
