Which East Coast Colleges Offer a Master's in Alternative Energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the pursuit of a master's degree in alternative energy engineering, highlighting the limited options available, specifically mentioning Wright State University in Ohio and Wayne State University in Michigan. There is a suggestion to consider designing a custom degree or pursuing an interdisciplinary program that incorporates alternative energy studies. Participants emphasize the growing availability of sustainable energy courses at various universities and recommend obtaining a master's in a broader engineering field or an MBA, which may provide better career prospects in the alternative energy sector. The conversation notes that while alternative energy is currently a promising field, a formal engineering degree may offer more long-term value.

Hi,
I am thinking about pursuing a masters degree in alternative energy engineering in the winter but have been running into some trouble. I can only find two colleges who offers such a degree, the first is Wright Stat U (ohio) and the second is Wayne State (michigan) I would like to stay a little closer to the east coast but I haven't found anything yet. Does anyone know of any other colleges offering a m.s. in alt energy?

You can design your own degree at most universities, or you can do an interdisciplinary degree that focuses on alternative energies. I'm sure most engineering departments would be happy to help you figure out a good mix of EE and ME programs for alternative energies. Our campus has recently been picking up sustainable energy type courses.
 
I highly recommend going for any other Engineering Masters, or even an MBA, and then targeting companies that are working in alternative energy.

Right now, Alternative Energy is great, but all the development is a sign of the times.

Having a Masters degree in any other formal engineering or formal curriculum will prove much more useful.
