Degree Requirements

Applicants are not required to have a background in petroleum engineering. Students with a bachelor's degree other than petroleum engineering who have degrees in engineering, math, or sciences can also be considered for the study of advanced petroleum engineering.

There are no set minimum requirements as candidates are considered on their full application. However, students closer to the admittance averages are more competitive.
