Master’s of Operational Energy (OE)
The Master’s of Operational Energy (OE) is a distributed learning (DL) degree program that equips graduates with the essential skills and knowledge to enhance their effectives in the modern battlespace.
The OE degree is designed to be completed by combining a sequence of NPS graduate-level certificates in areas related to computing, such as operations research, energy, war and peacetime logistics, autonomous systems, and defense energy. The program’s flexible design provides sponsoring agencies and students the ability to achieve specific professional education goals by selecting a tailored combination of certificates. There is no thesis or capstone requirement for this degree.
Those students who have completed an operational energy certificate may continue their education in pursuit of their master’s degree. The certificates for the degree are Directed Energy, Unmanned Systems Persistence, and Refuel (Contested) Logistics.
The OE degree program is open to some U.S. military officers and U.S. Government civilians, as well as international students and defense contractors, who are eligible for entry to NPS certificate programs. The Master’s of Operational Energy program must be completed within 5 years. The degree will be launched January 2023.
