Program Description
The Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) certificate focuses on understanding carbon capture methods, carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation, enhanced hydrocarbon recovery using captured CO2, geological CO2 storage, and market dynamics related to CCUS. Students gain information in a growing field of CCUS with potential for career advancement in green technology. They develop skills to contribute to subsurface energy systems and climate change mitigation strategies by understanding the technical and economic aspects of CCUS implementation.
The prescribed courses for this certificate have one prerequisite, PNG 305: Rock and Fluid Properties.
Program Requirements
To earn an undergraduate certificate in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage, a minimum of 12-13 credits is required.

Academic Advising
The objectives of the university's academic advising program are to help advisees identify and achieve their academic goals, to promote their intellectual discovery, and to encourage students to take advantage of both in-and out-of class educational opportunities in order that they become self-directed learners and decision makers.
Both advisers and advisees share responsibility for making the advising relationship succeed. By encouraging their advisees to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning, advisers assume a significant educational role. The advisee's unit of enrollment will provide each advisee with a primary academic adviser, the information needed to plan the chosen program of study, and referrals to other specialized resources.
