Quick Facts
Offered by the Institute for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern (ISEN), MSES is a full-time, cohort-based, one-year program that combines academic rigor, with real-world experience, giving students access to a unique combination of faculty expertise and leading industry practitioners. MSES students undertake a truly interdisciplinary curriculum with a focus on technology, economics, and public policy, coupled with one of three specialization tracks.
