(An exhaustive list of energy-related classes at MIT)

Many graduate students and advanced undergraduates start their energy studies at MIT by taking "Sustainable Energy: Choosing Amongst Option" taught by Tester et. al, and "Applications of Technology in Energy and Environment" taught by Deutch and Lester. These courses provide an excellent foundation for further energy studies.
