Master of Electricity Markets

Deregulation is bringing major changes to the electric power industry. Electricity is now traded in commodity markets, and these new markets affect the way the electric power grid is controlled and operated. Electrical engineers need to understand both the technical and the business sides of these changes in order to address the needs of the electric power industry. IIT's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Center for Financial Markets have teamed up to develop new master s degree and graduate certificate programs in electricity markets. Combining existing and new courses from the graduate programs in electrical engineering and in financial markets and trading, the programs provide graduate-level education in electricity markets suitable for electric power engineers.
