Developing secure, resilient, and adaptive energy infrastructure is the defining challenge of the 21st century—and our greatest opportunity for economic and environmental progress. Navigating this transition requires a new generation of workforce capable of steering the global energy sector through unprecedented change.

To meet this need, Colorado School of Mines and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) have partnered to offer a premier interdisciplinary graduate program. The Advanced Energy Systems (AES) program empowers doctoral researchers and master’s-level professionals to master the technical, economic, and environmental complexities of tomorrow’s infrastructure.

Students take advantage of this unique opportunity to:

• Collaborate with world-class faculty and NLR’s leading researchers.
• Utilize state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at both institutions.
• Engineer scalable solutions to global energy challenges.
• Engage with a diverse network of industry, government, and nonprofit partners.
• Launch a high-impact career at the forefront of the new energy economy.
