BS in Other Engineering Fields

 

Students with a B.S. in Other Engineering Fields

Students whose degrees are in other engineering fields should expect a graduate program of at least 4 semesters.  They will be required to take additional courses in geology and petroleum engineering.  The additional courses will be based on the individual student’s previous training.  The usual curriculum is given below.  The department may make changes based on the student’s previous academic training.  Courses showing zero credit hours are not credited toward the degree.

The following examples assume a thesis option.  For a nonthesis option, substitute 12 hours of elective credit for the six hours of PETE 8000.
