Help Develop Clean Energy Solutions

3 students sitting around a table in RUCWe’ve designed this 30-credit graduate program to meet the rising demand for engineers with in-depth knowledge about alternative and renewable energy production, utilization and demand. You’ll acquire systems-based knowledge in energy systems and sustainability through core and concentration courses.

You can take classes in person, online, or a combination of both. We schedule all classes in the late afternoon and evening so they’re convenient for part-time students who work.

Where an MSE in Energy Systems Will Take You

The expected growth in the energy industries and in concerns about sustainability mean your MSE in Energy Systems and Sustainability Engineering should open up a multitude of opportunities. Graduates will be ready for exciting careers with large and small energy companies, the automotive industry and other industries where energy plays a critical role, environmental organizations, agencies at all levels of government, research organizations, and many others.
