This minor is offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Science .
This college-wide interdisciplinary minor administered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy is designed for students considering a career in the field of renewable energy, or as preparation for graduate work in a wide range of academic disciplines. Renewable energy, as normally understood, includes a variety of methods of energy generation, such as solar, wind, hydro, tidal, and geothermal, as well as energy storage methods and energy conservation. Jobs related to renewable energy lie in a wide range of areas including engineering, business, marketing, finance, installation, software, legal affairs, and research. Projections suggest that employment opportunities in the renewable energy field will increase dramatically in the near future. The Renewable Energy Interdisciplinary Minor is therefore ideally suited for students with majors in engineering, business, and basic science.
The Renewable Energy Interdisciplinary Minor comprises 17-20 credits of coursework; eight credits of coursework must be unique to the minor. For policies governing all minors, see the Undergraduate Policies section of this catalog.
