Academic Programs

The Center offers a concentration for students in the two-year Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of International Affairs (MIA) programs and the one-year Program in Economic Policy Management (PEPM). The IEMP concentration offers an integrated treatment of the structure and issues of energy business development and energy policy development.

The IEMP concentration provides a thorough understanding of energy industry fundamentals, including the structure and operation of international energy systems and the business organizations, markets, and governance structures involved in producing, transporting, and marketing energy products. It examines economic, environmental, and social policies applicable to energy production, transportation and consumption; political and strategic issues arising from the unequal distribution of global energy resources; and the impact of technological change on the future role of energy in the global economy.
