MS in Global Energy Management
The Master of Science (MS) in Global Energy Management (GEM) is designed to educate future leaders in global energy management and support management succession for the energy industry worldwide. As a major energy hub for the U.S. and Canada, Denver is positioned to create the synergy needed for this successful venture.
The Curriculum
Real-Time Delivery. Real-World Relevance. GEM students receive an educational experience that goes beyond the classroom. Energy industry experts partnered with the Business School to create a curriculum that integrates theory with real-world business. Courses meet physically the first week of each term (40 hours) with the remainder of the coursework completed online. The curriculum content, delivery-method and assignments reflect the topics, challenges and expectations of the energy industry. As a cohort program, students must collaboratively work with teammates - often spanning multiple time zones, cultures and professional levels - in order to successfully complete group projects. In each class, students are expected to assume the role of the "decision-maker" and are asked to assess the financial implications, technologies, manpower and capital resources that affect real-world energy endeavors. The courses are taught by faculty members from around the world with extensive experience in the energy industry. The semester long courses are structured on a calendar quarter basis; each course is worth three (3) semester credits. The 36 credit-hour program will be completed in eighteen months.
