The first students in this new concentration graduated in May 2010. Current graduates are pursuing graduate degrees or are working for energy consulting firms, utilities, and state agencies. In addition to core geoscience classes, this conecentration includes energy science courses that examine conventional and renewable energy sources and applications.
