Students pursuing an MS degree must exhibit strong research capabilities within a specific petroleum engineering specialization. Together with their advisory committee, each student designs a degree plan focused exclusively on engineering and science courses that bolster research competence. To achieve these objectives, we equip our students with optimal training for entering the oil and gas sector. Our program ensures all students gain thorough grounding in petroleum engineering principles while mandating hands-on industry exposure. Consequently, our alumni join the workforce as immediately effective professionals who recognize the importance of ongoing skill development throughout their careers.
