UCCS Energy Science Program; Class Schedule
The Energy Science Program is intended to be taken as a minor
with various technical and non-technical degrees. Energy science
courses are also intended to supplement degree programs including, but
not limited to geography, geology, engineering and economics.
Interested students are urged to discuss the program with their
major advisers.
The Energy Science Program is designed to prepare students to
appreciate (and possibly find jobs in) alternate energy sources.
Specifically, courses are offered in solar energy, wind energy,
nuclear energy, and related fields such as remote sensing and
climatology.
Depending on a student's background, a minor may be obtained
which requires knowledge of calculus or courses may be selected to
provide a less mathematical minor.
The specific requirements are:
Students must take either ENSC 150/151 or ENSC 250.
Students must take ENSC 160 and 162.
Students must select additional courses from the following list
of electives. The combination of required courses and electives must
total a minimum pf 18 credit hours, or which, at least 9 credit hours
must be upper division.
