Energy Certificate
The certificate is designed to leverage explicit knowledge gained from the core BSM curriculum, including such areas as finance, analytics, economics, risk management, strategy, and operations. With a strong emphasis on skill development, experiential learning, and industry exposure, students will gain both a solid foundation within the fundamental principles of Energy as well as a path towards a future career in the industry.
The Certificate in Energy prepares undergraduate students for entry-level positions and careers in the energy industry or with companies or firms that serve the industry, including related banking/financial organizations, trading organizations, consulting firms, utilities, technology, and government agencies.
The Certificate in Energy requires four courses and 12 credit hours and is available to BSM students in the A.B. Freeman School of Business. The certificate must be earned concurrently with the BSM degree. No more than one course of the Certificate in Energy may count toward a student's BSM degree and major.
