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

The Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering typically involves creating an original research thesis along with advanced coursework beyond undergraduate studies. The traditional thesis-based M.S. program focuses on in-depth learning and research opportunities. For research eligibility, students must select a suitable research topic and gain approval from an MPGE faculty member as a thesis candidate. This program caters to part-time students and those whose academic objectives align better with structured coursework rather than thesis research. Applicants interested in the coursework-focused option should specify this preference during admission. Once enrolled, these students are advised to seek faculty mentors for academic guidance or may complete their degree under the supervision of the Graduate Liaison. The non-thesis M.S. program concludes with a comprehensive final examination.
