Energy Systems Option in Energy Business and Finance (35 Credits)
Energy Business and Finance graduates will spend much of their professional careers working with engineers on a variety of energy related projects. The Energy Systems Option is designed to give EBF graduates a background in energy engineering, and to facilitate and improve their careers. The option first gives students a basic understanding of energy engineering principles. The students then take a set of courses that apply those principles in various scenarios.
A total of 35 credits are required for the option.
NOTE: This option is only available to students who are enrolled in the Energy Business and Finance program.
