The EST&P master’s program celebrated the graduation of 15 students on May 10, 2025, that included those from its 2024-2025 class. At the diploma ceremony, graduates received their Foundational Energy Master's Degrees or Applied Study Energy Master's Degrees. They have become part of our network of over 270 EST&P alumni and over 110,000 CMU alumni from around the world.
