Defense Energy Certificate Programs (Residence and Distance Learning)
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) offers unique defense energy certificate programs available in residence or via distributed learning (DL). These energy-focused programs can provide graduate education and enable a better understanding of the complex issues facing operational and installation energy. The certificate programs are also open to uniformed and civilian Department of Defense (DoD) members who do not have an opportunity to enroll in an NPS degree program. The certificate program is free to all students, but applications must be submitted, transcripts received, and a Participation Agreement signed before NPS can process the application.

Defense Energy Certificate Participant Feedback
"Big thank you to the Energy Academic Group and NPS for the Defense Energy Certificate. This certificate provided me with the depth of knowledge and standing to perform beyond my current role at the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence. The knowledge and expertise allowed me to speak with confidence at events such as the Global Energy Security Talks in Qatar, the Baltic Sea Forum in Finland and lecture at multiple energy security courses. Unexpectedly, the certificate also factored into being selected for my next projected role in service to ODNI."
— Lt. Col. Videt Norng, USAF, Division Head, NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence
