Bachelor
of Renewable Energy (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Renewable Energy (BS) program helps students develop practical skills and knowledge required to critically evaluate alternative energy sources, and provide applied solutions to the energy demand. The major is decidedly interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on the underlying natural processes relating to renewable energy
and employing the scientific method. The
Bachelor of Renewable Energy (BS) program
is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Renewable Energy
(BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.

or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete

follow a standardized curriculum. It is

Job Description
Bachelors in Renewable Energy
Renewable energy promises to transform our energy needs to a sustainable and environmentally responsible mix of sources that reduce our need and use of fossil fuels. The move to renewable has been stimulated by recent technology developments and growing concerns over the sustainability and impact of conventional fuel usage on our environment, the prospect of producing clean, sustainable power in substantial quantities from renewable energy sources arouses interest world-wide.
Jobs in the Renewable Energy field vary according to the technology being used; for example wind power, solar power, and bio-energy. But by far the fastest growing sector for renewable energy jobs is in the area of wind energy.
