16 monthsAs global energy demand rises, managing carbon dioxide emissions and ensuring secure energy access are two of humanity's most pressing, interconnected challenges. We must find adaptable engineering solutions to address these issues while considering climate change, economic growth, and ecosystem stability.
Our MS in Carbon Management program equips future environmental engineers with the tools to balance carbon management and sustainable resource production. The multidisciplinary curriculum covers carbon capture, utilization, storage, low-carbon energy systems, and business and policy perspectives.
You'll explore natural and engineered carbon management processes across the Earth's carbon reservoirs, including the atmosphere, land, ocean, and subsurface. Hands-on assignments and team projects will deepen your understanding of physical-chemical mechanisms, life cycle assessments, and integrative solutions. Guided by world-leading faculty, you'll engage in research and benefit from exposure to cutting-edge topics through guest speaker colloquiums. The program's flexible structure allows you to tailor your studies to reflect your career goals.
