Three stackable certificates have been developed for this program, which aims to provide the opportunity to understand the complex issues facing the operational and installation energy segments of DoW and how they impact operational capability issues as well as military requirements. The certificate program is designed to expose students to the technical, operational, and security aspects of DoW’s energy needs.
The OE Certificate Program is open to all U.S. uniformed military personnel, federal civilian employees, and defense industrial contractors. All applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree and must verify eligibility and funding with their respective organizations before applying.
While NPS is mission-funded to educate officers of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, tuition for all others is typically covered through agency or command sponsorship. Self-funding of individuals is not allowed. Contact the EAG Academic Associate for more information on tuition.
Each course is delivered asynchronously via a web-based system known as Sakai, the repository of all course materials. Instructors will create weekly modules for students to access and complete. These modules include syllabus, reading materials, power point slides, recorded lectures, homework assignments with solutions, quizzes, and exams.
