Elective Courses
Any energy climate change-related course offered at Notre Dame may be taken as an elective for the Energy Studies Minor (ESM). The options vary each semester. Courses not listed below, including those taken abroad, may be acceptable with approval. Students can use the attribute ENST in PATH Class Search to find most but not all electives.
Courses that qualify for the business, economics, or policy (BEP) requirement are marked with asterisks. Others may be used with approval.
Students in the ESM are required to have prerequisites before registering for a course. If students believe they can handle the material or if a class is full, they should contact the professor directly to see if they can take the class. ND Energy cannot get students into classes in other departments.
Courses listed as ENER provide seats specifically for students in the ESM. Once those seats are filled, students might be able to register through a cross-listed section. If a cross-listed course is part of another minor, please contact that department or professor to seek permission to fill a vacant seat or to get on the waitlist.
For additional information or questions, please contact Anne Berges Pillai, apillai@nd.edu. To view previous course offerings, visit Historical Course Offerings.
