Brief Overview
The Energy Academic Group's Distributed Learning (DL) Certificate Program in Energy is designed to support the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy's Energy goals. The DL Energy Certificate provides military and civilian employees of the Department of War the opportunity to understand the complex issues facing the Operational and Installation Energy segments of DoW.
The Certificate program is designed to expose students to the technical, operational, and security aspects of DoW energy needs. Courses are offered asynchronously online on a schedule of one course per quarter for four quarters.
The Certificate requires successful completion of four graduate DL courses (16 credit hours). Any of the four courses can be substituted with the corresponding NPS resident course. The Energy Academic Group Academic Associate may also approve a resident course that is identified as an elective in the Resident Certificate Program as a substitute for a DL course.
