The Georgia Institute of Technology is launching a new Master’s degree in Sustainable Energy and Environmental Management (MSEEM) — the only graduate degree in Georgia fully dedicated to sustainability issues. The highly technical, science-based, and interdisciplinary program will prepare students to deliver fact-based policy expertise through robust analytical techniques and a deep understanding of energy and environmental issues and sustainability practices.
The MSEEM program is designed to serve a broad range of students interested in sustainability issues. Students can complete the degree on campus or online as a full-time student. Students also have the option to enroll part-time and complete their degree online. The program is designed to serve working professionals and others who want to participate part-time and earn their degree over several years.
MSEEM students will study topics such as sustainable energy and voluntary environmental commitments, cost-benefit analysis, utility regulation and policy, Earth systems, economics of environmental policy, big data and policy analytics, climate policy, and environmental management. Students will aslo learn analytical techniques used to estimate and evaluate sustainability metrics, learn to expertly assess the context of energy and environmental problems, and learn environmental ethics and its implications for sustainability practice.
Applications are being accepted through June 15 for the inaugural class of MSEEM students, who will begin study in August 2019.
