Besides achieving an undergraduate degree in Petroleum Engineering, bachelor degree holders in other engineering disciplines such as chemical, mechanical, civil, industrial, electrical, etc. are recommended to apply. While we invite all interested applicants to apply, the most competitive applicant has academic preparation as an engineer. Our program admission is very competitive. If you have a bachelor's degree outside of the field of engineering, we recommend you consider a 2nd bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering. The academic background necessary from the math, science and engineering academics of the undergraduate prepared engineer are essential to success in the graduate program. The master's program curriculum assumes high competency in those areas.
