The School of Energy Resources facilitates interdisciplinary academic and research programs in engineering and science, economics, and environment and natural resources policy to address critical energy-related issues faced by our society.
Our mission is to leverage and add to the already significant energy-related talent and resources in the University of Wyoming colleges to develop human resources, know-how, and technical solutions to ensure a secure and sustainable energy future for the state, region, and nation.
Bachelor of Science - Energy Resource Science
Energy and environment are integral to global communities and to society. The need for exploiting all forms of energy resources (fossil fuels, renewables, and alternatives) to meet growing energy demands while protecting the environment has become more urgent in recent years.
Society faces many difficult decisions regarding production and consumption of energy, and the consequent impacts on the global environment. Pressing questions include: To what extent should we exploit natural resources for energy production? Do we have sufficient energy resources to meet skyrocketing global demands for energy in the future? What must we do to develop sustainable energy programs and policies in light of the increasingly complex interactions of economic needs and environmental imperatives? The School of Energy Resources (SER) is facilitating development of interdisciplinary academic programs on campus to address these and other critical energy-related issues.
SER is collaborating with the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Applied Science, Agriculture, Business, Education, and Law, as well as the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, to offer an interdisciplinary B.S. degree program in Energy Resource Science (ERS). The goal of the ERS degree is to offer a diverse curriculum that combines engineering, science, business, law, and natural resources content to build a fundamental understanding of the interaction and tradeoffs between energy, environment, policy, and the economy.
Overall objectives of the ERS degree program include the following:
• Create an intellectual and practical energy resource degree program by providing theoretical knowledge in the classroom, experimental design in the laboratory, and hands-on experience in the field;
• Provide interdisciplinary training for students to be consistent with the rigor expected of professionals in energy resources;
• Prepare human resources for the energy industry, regulatory agencies, and educational and research institutes.
Required Academic Performance
In order to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Energy Resource Science, the student must earn a letter grade of C or better in each course and a GPA of 2.0 or better.
