This real-world curriculum is taught by faculty members from around the world who have extensive experience in the energy industry. Companies have already started approaching the GEM program about employment opportunities for our students.
Partnering with the Energy Industry
The Business School partnered with energy company executives to create the Master of Science in Global Energy Management to help support the industry"s leadership succession pipeline. Within the next five years, 40-50% of individuals in upper management in energy companies are eligible to retire, leaving a serious knowledge gap between middle and upper management. GEM"s continued success and ability to deliver such a highly-specialized energy leadership curriculum is directly linked to the continuous input, guidance and support from our Advisory Council. The GEM Advisory Council, representing top energy leaders in business and government, ensures the GEM program is providing the education necessary for students to advance into executive leadership positions throughout the energy industry.
