With support through the Maguire Energy Institute, the STEM-designated M.S.E.S.M. program prepares students to drive global impact in the energy sector. Designed to address the world’s pressing energy challenges, the curriculum fosters innovation and advances unbiased education and research. The program equips future business leaders with the skills to develop environmentally sustainable solutions, meeting the growing demand for expertise in corporate sustainability, environmental impact reporting, and innovation.
As companies increasingly document their sustainability efforts and environmental footprint, this degree provides graduates with specialized industry knowledge and hands-on learning through dedicated tracks. The one-year, predominately lock-step program consists of 32 credit hours. Each 14-week term is divided into two seven-week modules with each module course being two credit hours. To meet student needs, classes are scheduled in the morning, afternoon and evening, Monday through Thursday, as well as Saturday morning. Students progress through the program as a cohort, fostering collaboration and a strong professional network.
The Cox School of Business seeks candidates with either non-business or business undergraduate degrees who wish to acquire graduate-level skills in order to enhance career prospects in the field of energy and sustainability as it spans across industries. Candidates who demonstrate analytical capabilities, leadership experience, interpersonal and communication skills, and personal commitment and motivation are invited to apply. The Admissions Committee seeks candidates who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential, leadership qualities, and management potential. To assess these characteristics, the committee will look to the following elements to help identify a candidate’s potential to succeed in the program: previous academic records, recommendations that speak to a candidate’s professional performance, and self-evaluation essays.
