You may apply electronically or by mail to the master's and Ph.D. programs supported by CEEP. Please see below for information on "Applying Online" and "Applying by Mail."

Applying to the Program
CEEP supports four graduate programs in the energy and environmental policy field: a Master of Environmental and Energy Policy (MEEP); a Master of Arts, with a concentration in Energy, Environment and Equity (M.A.E3); a Ph.D. in Environmental and Energy Policy (Ph.D./ENEP); and a Ph.D., with a specialization in Technology, Environment and Society (Ph.D./TES).

The MEEP and Ph.D./ENEP are administered directly by CEEP. The M.A./E3 and the Ph.D./TES Graduate are sponsored by CEEP and administered by the Urban Affairs and Public Policy Program Faculty of the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy.

The M.A.E3 includes 36 credit hours of graduate work, of which 15 are in the core curriculum and 21 are in the area of concentration. The Ph.D. specialization in Technology, Environment and Society (Ph.D./TES) has three components: a 15 credit core curriculum, the development of a research area and the dissertation proposal involving at least 27 credit hours; and the writing of the dissertation. Areas of specialization in both degrees include:

Comparative Energy and Environmental Policy
Sustainable Development
Political Economy of Energy, Environment and Development
Environmental Justice
Conservation and Renewable Energy Policy
Integrated Resource Planning
Technology, Environment and Society

Both programs of study lead to degrees in urban affairs and public policy and are intended for individuals who wish to study in the general area of public policy with a focus on energy and environmental issues.

The 36-credit Master of Environmental and Energy Policy (MEEP) has a 21 credit core curriculum and 15 elective credits. The Ph.D. in Environmental and Energy Policy (Ph.D./ENEP) has three components: a 21 credit core curriculum, the development of a research area and the dissertation proposal involving at least 24 credit hours; and the writing of the dissertation.

Both degrees offer concentrations in:

Political Economy of Energy and Environment
Sustainable Development
Disasters and Public Policy
Energy Policy
Environmental Policy

The ENEP degrees are directly administered by CEEP with the support of five colleges at the University: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Arts and Science, Engineering, Marine Studies and Human Services, Education and Public Policy (where CEEP is housed). The degrees are intended for individuals who wish to focus their graduate programs on interdisciplinary study of the field of energy and environmental policy. A three-credit science, engineering and public policy proficiency is required in the ENEP degrees.

The deadline for applications to the ENEP programs is February 15. The deadline for applications to CEEP-supported UAPP concentrations is February 1. A completed admission application and all credentials must be submitted by the relevant program deadline to guarantee consideration for financial aid.
