Program
Overview
The Environmental
and Energy Management Program at the George Washington University
is designed specifically for professionals in the rapidly
expanding environmental and energy sectors in the United States
and throughout the world. Whether you are already an active
professional in the environmental field or are planning a
new career, pursuit of an Environmental and Energy Management
graduate degree at GW will provide you with tremendous career
advantages. With GW's proximity to the federal government,
major environmental organizations, and high-tech firms in
the Washington area, you can combine academic study and first
hand practical experience with direct exposure to decision
makers and top players in the environmental and energy management
field.
Our program
provides advanced education across the full spectrum of subjects
central to the practice of environmental and energy management.
These include protection of air quality, water quality management,
hazardous and solid waste management, environmental auditing,
environmental impact assessment, benefit-cost analysis, risk
assessment and management, energy auditing, environmental
and energy policy analysis, geographic information systems,
and other related subjects. The program embodies not only
the engineering and scientific technologies underlying the
profession, but also the statutory and regulatory framework
in which they are embedded, social and policy considerations
that are critically important in modern society, and management
tools needed to get the job done.
Graduate students in our program interact with faculty and
students in five other GW environmental programs located in
other departments and schools of the George Washington University.
Students
interested in this area of study may pursue a
Master of Science Degree,
Professional Degree or
Doctor of Philosophy Degree. All graduate degree programs
are structured to allow either full-time or part-time study.
The program of study is designed by the students in consultation
with their advisor.
The Master of Science Degree
The
program of study for the Master of Science degree in Environmental
and Energy Management must include the following:
EMSE
Common Course Requirements (4):
E&EM
Concentration Course Requirements:
Master of Science (4)
Remaining
credit hour requirements (four courses for non-thesis students;
two courses for thesis students) may be selected from among

below:
E&EM
Program Electives (2 or 4):
The Professional Degree
The
professional degree program consists of a minimum of 30 credit
hours beyond the master's degree, of which three credit hours
are devoted to an applied professional project. The 27 required
credit hours of coursework may be selected from among those
listed for the master's degree.
The Doctoral Degree
Doctor
of Philosophy program requirements include a minimum of 30
credit hours of course work beyond the master's degree, divided
into major and minor areas of study. Courses are selected
from among those listed for the master's degree, as well as
from approximately 100 courses offered by the Environmental
Engineering, Environmental Law, Environmental and Occupational
Health, Environmental Policy, and Environmental Politics programs,
which are located in other departments and schools of the
George Washington University
Environmental and Energy Management Research
An important
component of the Environmental and Energy Management Program
is funded research. Organizations that currently are sponsoring
environmental management research at GW, or which recently
have done so, include the Solar Institute; U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency; Institute for Water Resources, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers; Transportation Environmental Research
Program, Federal Highway Administration; National Park Service,
U.S. Department of the Interior; and Transportation Development
Foundation. All students benefit from the cutting edge results
flowing from these activities as they are incorporated into
program courses. In addition, some students have the opportunity
to participate directly in research projects as graduate research
assistants.
