MSc in Geological Engineering in Norman United States | University of Oklahoma

Earning a Master of Science in Geological Engineering typically involves completing an original research thesis along with advanced coursework beyond undergraduate studies. The traditional thesis-based M.S. program focuses on in-depth study and hands-on research. Students must secure a research topic and gain acceptance from an MPGE faculty member to begin thesis work. This curriculum caters to part-time students and those whose career objectives align better with structured coursework rather than thesis research. Applicants should specify their preference for the coursework-focused option during admission. Once enrolled, students can select faculty advisors or work under the Graduate Liaison's supervision. The non-thesis M.S. track concludes with a comprehensive final examination.
