Shaping the future. Addressing global needs.
As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis and a growing population, the demand for innovative solutions in energy generation, distribution, and consumption has never been greater. The need for safe, reliable, and equitable access to energy is a driving force in our communities and our economy.
Our Sustainable Energy Industry Immersion at UC Davis brings together MBA and graduate students from several departments who are interested in the energy industry to experience first-hand the significant managerial challenges and opportunities in transforming this sector.
The Immersion experience taps into the reputation and connections of UC Davis in sustainable energy, transportation and climate solutions.
If you are ready to make an impact in the energy field, you’ve found the right place.
UC Davis walks the talk as a global leader in sustainability and climate change research. For eight years in a row, we’ve been crowned the “greenest” campus in the U.S. by the UI GreenMetric World University rankings.
The campus has set bold energy use goals and serves as a proving ground for new technologies, using less energy today than 20 years ago despite aggressive growth.
Throughout UC Davis, we are dedicated to advancing California’s legacy of innovation in clean energy and energy efficiency regulation, technology, and development. As a graduate student participating in this program, you’ll benefit from a unique educational experience, working directly with industry leaders to tackle current energy challenges.
As a UC Davis MBA student, our Sustainable Energy Industry Immersion offers you an educational experience unlike any other.
In the cornerstone course, business and policy leaders present current case challenges on energy. You’ll collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to develop solutions on the fly to share with these top executives.
The connections made with these executives and our corporate partnerships in the energy sector often open doors to internships and career opportunities.
Many rewarding careers await you in the energy industry, which has an increasing demand for all types of skills: finance, operations, marketing, communications, R&D and management.
We’re confident that no other business school and university can match the breadth of energy expertise and experiences you’ll find in the UC Davis MBA program. As an alumnus, I experienced this first-hand.
I encourage you to learn more and get in touch if you have questions.
