The production and consumption of energy, especially energy based on fossil fuels, is a major source of environmental and social problems in the US and the world, including global warming, air pollution, ecosystem destruction, and economic instability. Continuing growth in conventional energy consumption is not sustainable in the future and transition to an economy based on renewable energy technologies such as hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy is inevitable. Sustainable Energy Management is the study of this transition through the perspectives of the natural and the social sciences. The concentration in Sustainable Energy Management prepares individuals to work as energy policy specialists in government, industry, and education.
- Introduces the emerging field of sustainable energy studies
- Prepares students for post-graduate employment involving energy-related policy
- Insures understanding of the social and economic implications of energy technology
- Insures understanding of technological and scientific basis of energy policy
- Prepares future educators to teach about energy science and energy policy

There are only three parts to any degree plan at
Eastern. Your Bachelor’s Degree will be made
up of 40 courses.
-
General Education Requirements (12-14 3-credit courses)
Utilize previous credits from other colleges or meet some requirements
through CLEP or DSST exams.
-
Your Academic Major or Major/Minor Concentrations for the BGS (10-18 3-credit courses)
See here for available options or design your own BGS degree
or Individualized Major. Call the School of Continuing
Education for information. Five of these 3-Credit courses must be 300+ level and taken at EASTERN.
-
Electives (10-18 3-credit courses)
Utilize previous credits here – no matter how long ago you took
them, or apply for Credit for Lifelong Learning.
All baccalaureate degree programs require a minimum of 120 semester credit hours. In addition to the major or major/minor concentration for the BGS, all students must complete EASTERN's General Education Requirement (GER).
Note: A minimum of 30 credits must be earned through Eastern coursework. Within the total 120 credits required for the degree, students must complete 60 credits of coursework numbered 200-level or higher and within that 60, 30 credits must be 300-level or higher. |
