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.
