Myriad courses at Princeton provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to gain an in-depth understanding of issues related to energy and the environment, from the fundamental scientific and technological underpinnings to the broader social, political and economic issues that shape public debate.

Two particular programs are:

Program in Sustainable Energy

The Program in Sustainable Energy is designed for Princeton undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate education in the area of Sustainable Energy Science and Technology to achieve:

1. An understanding of current energy resources, carriers, end users, technologies, and their impact on climate and environment
2. The ability to quantitatively analyze, design, and develop innovative energy systems and technologies that support sustainable economic growth, energy security, biological diversity, and environmental harmony for life on earth
3. An understanding of earth, global climate, and environmental change from the perspective of engineering, technology, and policy.

Nanotechnology for Clean Energy

Princeton and Rutgers universities have partnered to lead the Nanotechnology for Clean Energy IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeship), a new interdisciplinary, multi-university graduate fellowship program.
