The Energy, Technology, and Society Graduate Certificate provides students with graduate training in the important role that energy plays in society, and provides an understanding of different technological options, the impacts that energy has on society, the economy, and the environment, and how these issues interface with policy and politics. This program seeks to equip students with the tools to fit the pieces together, craft strategies for new portfolios of energy use, and help decision makers understand the policy and planning tools to meet future energy and environmental needs.
While many academic disciplines include elements of energy and environmental issues, leaders will require multidisciplinary education, training and experiences to create an economically viable and environmentally sound future. Future decision makers and analysts need to be able to develop new paradigms for how to integrate a portfolio of technologies, with changes in consumer behavior and new policies.
