Energy, in all its forms, plays a crucial role in human society, yet our reliance on it poses dilemmas for the 21st century. Modern economies require a steady energy supply, but energy production and consumption can have serious environmental consequences. While worldwide demand for energy is growing, the most popular sources - fossil fuels - are finite. And once-stable energy industries are rapidly evolving into more competitive, volatile enterprises. Will they meet our future energy needs?
The Energy Analysis and Policy Program (EAP) gives UW-Madison graduate students the skills and knowledge needed by professionals in government, energy companies, consulting firms, and other organizations to grapple with these kinds of concerns. EAP complements the discipline-centered approaches of most graduate degree programs, including those in energy-related fields such as geology, economics, chemistry, engineering, and business.
EAP welcomes applications from students in any graduate degree program at UW-Madison. Master's- degree students who complete the program receive EAP certificates in addition to their degrees, and doctoral students can count the program as a distributed minor. EAP is not available as a stand-alone graduate degree.
