Areas of Emphasis at Delaware
The ENEP undergraduate degree provides students with cross-disciplinary knowledge and analytical skills to address local, national and global energy and environmental issues. Students integrate the methods of economics, policy analysis, environmental geography, science and engineering to solve fundamental energy and environmental problems. Through this unique cross-disciplinary program, students combine courses in policy analysis, economics, the social and natural sciences, and engineering with CEEP's well-established internship program to learn in the classroom AND in the practical settings of government, industry, think tanks and environmental organizations. In this way, analytical training and experience-based learning enable the student to apply knowledge to real world challenges.
