Master in Advanced Energy and Fuels Management, Southern Illinois University

Program Description;In the energy sector, increasing global energy demand coupled with a need to reduce the sector’s environmental impact are driving unprecedented change. Industry leaders are discovering new ways to create energy from both alternative and traditional resources. At the same time, firms in the energy sector are developing and employing new technologies to reduce the environmental impact of existing energy resources, as well as to improve the manner in which energy and fuels are extracted, refined, generated, stored, and distributed. Rapid growth and change in the energy sector has created a strong demand for personnel in management and leadership roles who are trained in both the technical aspects of the energy industry and who also possess workplace skills. ;The proposed course of study achieves this objective by providing core technical training in energy resources, energy production technology and energy policy issues coupled with business training in project and personnel management, business leadership skills and fiscal management. In addition to these core requirements, students participating in this program will have the opportunity to take nine (9) credit hours of electives to allow them to gain additional specialized graduate-level training related to their own specific interests and career goals.;I want to find another Master Course;The Advanced Energy and Fuels Management program at Southern Illinois University consists of a 36-hour curriculum structured in accord with the PSM model originally developed by the Sloan Foundation. The program is designed to be completed in one academic year (based on full-time study), with additional course work to be completed in the preceding summer semester and the capstone internship to be completed in the final summer semester. This intensive program is designed to minimize the time student’s need to be away from full-time employment while also maintaining academic rigor.
