Key Summary
About: The Master of Renewable Energy at Atlantic International University builds practical skills to evaluate alternative energy sources and provide applied solutions to energy demand. The interdisciplinary program stresses natural processes and the scientific method. Offered as online distance learning, AIU assesses academic records and life experience to design a customized, individualized curriculum that fits industry and geographic factors. AIU reviews life experience for admission and credit.
Career Outcomes: Graduates may work as renewable energy analysts, sustainability consultants, renewable project managers, energy policy advisors, energy systems designers, or clean energy researchers in utilities, consultancies, government, NGOs, or as independent contractors.
The Master of Renewable Energy (MS) program helps students develop practical skills and knowledge required to critically evaluate alternative energy sources, and provide applied solutions to the energy demand. The major is decidedly interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on the underlying natural processes relating to renewable energy and employing the scientific method. The Master of Renewable Energy (BS) program is offered online via distance learning. After evaluating both academic records and life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty and Academic Advisors will assist students in setting up a custom-made program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our online program does not require all students to take the same subjects/courses, use the same books, or learning materials. Instead, the online Master of Renewable Energy (BS) curriculum is designed individually by the student and academic advisor. It specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities in the student’s major and intended field of work. Understanding that industry and geographic factors should influence the content of the curriculum instead of a standardized one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach to adult education. This philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly changing environment of working professionals by helping adult students in reaching their professional and personal goals within the scope of the degree program.
