The Sustainable Energy Concentration aims to introduce students to contemporary energy systems and technologies, along with their environmental, health, and resource challenges. Energy availability is deeply intertwined with economic prosperity. While fossil fuel reserves remain abundant, environmental and economic factors restrict their utilization. Supporting a projected global population of ten billion at developed-nation living standards using current energy solutions would lead to significant ecological consequences. Addressing climate change and ocean acidification demands cutting carbon emissions, yet most alternatives to traditional fossil fuels—including nuclear power—remain cost-prohibitive for widespread adoption. Affordable, sustainable energy remains essential for securing vital needs like raw materials, clean water, food production, shelter, and mobility.

Qualification Requirements
The basic requirement for admission as a graduate student is the bachelor's degree received from an institution of acceptable standing. Ordinarily, the applicant will have majored in the field in which graduate study is intended, but in certain programs preparation in a related field of engineering or science is acceptable. The applicant will be admitted only if the undergraduate record shows promise of productive and effective graduate work.
The Master of Science (MS) degree is required for admission into the PhD and EngScD degree programs. A student who holds an appropriate bachelor's degree in engineering may apply for admission to either the MS only or MS leading to PhD program.
The following materials must accompany the online application for on-campus graduate programs-
Transcripts from every post-secondary institution attended
