Energy Management MBA

The University of Wyoming Full-Time MBA program offers two (2) energy management alternatives for students interested in enhancing their MBA.  These programs have been designed collaboratively between the MBA faculty and energy industry leaders.

"Energy" in the context of the energy management programs refers to traditional hydrocarbon energy businesses (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas), the power generation industry, and alternative energy (e.g., renewable, nuclear, and cogeneration).  The programs address extraction & production, processing & conversion, and marketing & delivery in each segment. This is the program to be in if you enjoy solving unstructured energy business problems!
