In order to fulfill the requirements for graduation, students must successfully complete 36 credit hours that fulfill university, concentration-specific course requirements and electives, and must maintain a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in order to graduate. These credit hours include 6 credit hours of Core coursework, at least 6 credit hours under the Methodology requirement, at least 6 credit hours under the Social Science requirement, at least 3 credit hours under the Science, Engineering and Public Policy Requirement and 15 credit hours that could be completed in one of two ways:
- An Analytical Paper (3 credit hours) + 12 credit hours of Specialization Courses or
- A Master's Thesis (6 credit hours) + 9 credit hours of Specialization Courses
The Analytical Paper / Master's Thesis and Specialization Coursework will allow for focused study and research in on of the following ENEP Concentrations:
- Energy Sustainability
- Water Sustainability
- Environmental Justice
- Political Ecology
- Global Environments
- Sustainable Development
- Other Approved Concentration
Please see Master in Energy and Environmental Policy Handbook for a detailed list of ENEP courses.
