Sustainable Energy, PhD

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

Society is in the midst of a transition toward sustainable energy. Because the global energy system is a complex, sociotechnical system, the transition toward sustainable energy requires the next generation of leaders to possess a transdisciplinary perspective comprising both technical and societal dimensions of energy. The Doctor of Philosophy degree in sustainable energy integrates these perspectives in preparing students to address the challenges in energy transitions. Students enter the program from diverse backgrounds in engineering, planning, business, policy, and natural and social sciences. The core classes provide students with interdisciplinary expertise and skills related to current and emerging energy technologies and systems, economic analysis of energy systems, and social and policy dynamics of energy transitions. Elective classes allow students to develop more specialized methodological skills, technical expertise and topical knowledge.
