Petroleum Engineering
Anyone with an interest in subsurface energies and storage, including fossil fuels, carbon and hydrogen storage in subsurface, and geothermal energy, should consider the possibility of a career as a petroleum engineer. Petroleum engineers seek out oil and natural gas reservoirs beneath the earth's surface, design subsurface carbon capture projects, and are frequently involved in deep geothermal energy projects. They develop the safest and most environmentally friendly methods of bringing these energy resources to the market.
Many petroleum engineers travel the world or live in foreign countries - wherever their explorations take them to find and recover valuable petroleum reserves. Petroleum engineers also tend to quickly assume leadership roles, handling large projects with high levels of responsibility.
Because of the increasing demand for types of energy and carbon management beyond fossil fuels, there has been an accompanying increase in the demand for petroleum engineers in areas such as CO2 sequestration and geothermal energy.
As a petroleum engineering student, you will study the technologies of oil and gas drilling, production, reserves estimation, oil and gas recovery improvement, the prediction of future production, and data mining. You will also study various techniques for evaluating the characteristics of subsurface formations and their fluid contents, which is crucial for all subsurface energy operations.
Petroleum Engineering is an independent degree program offered under the department of geosciences and geological and petroleum engineering.

Accelerated BS/MS Program Option for Petroleum Engineering Majors
Missouri S&T Petroleum Engineering undergraduate students may opt to apply for an accelerated BS/MS program where a student can earn both the BS and MS degrees in Petroleum Engineering faster than if pursuing the degrees separately. The degrees awarded will be a BS & MS (non-thesis or thesis) in Petroleum Engineering.
The benefits for undergraduate students admitted to the program are:
- Undergraduate and graduate courses may be chosen with greater flexibility,
- Up to nine hours of 5000-level or above Petroleum Engineering coursework may apply to both the BS and MS requirements,
- The classes taken for shared BS/MS credit may be taken at the lower undergraduate tuition rate,
- The GRE is not required for admission,
- Other graduate courses can be taken any time after entering the program as a dual enrolled student,
- Work on a thesis project may begin before the BS requirements are completed.
To be eligible for the accelerated BS/MS Petroleum Engineering program, a Petroleum Engineering undergraduate must be at or beyond the junior level standing with a minimum of 48 credit hours. They must have successfully completed the Chemistry and Math requirements and have completed 21 credit hours of Petroleum Engineering courses at Missouri S&T with at least a 3.2 GPA in the Petroleum Engineering courses. To be admitted, the student must complete the program application and non-thesis MS students must have the recommendation of a Petroleum Engineering faculty member, while thesis MS students must have the recommendation of a Petroleum Engineering faculty member who agrees to serve as the graduate thesis advisor. All other MS degree requirements remain the same. The program may be combined with existing honors research, emphasis areas, and certificate options.
The Accelerated Program application must be completed within one semester after shared-credit courses are completed. Courses taken for shared credit will be identified on the application form. These courses will also be listed on the student’s Graduate Form 1 to be submitted after the student enters the graduate program. The nine hours of shared-credit coursework, to be taken as undergraduate credit, must be approved by the academic advisor, and may not be undergraduate research, special problems, or transfer courses. An additional six credit hours of coursework for graduate credit (beyond the shared BS/MS credits) can be taken while in the undergraduate program by applying for dual undergraduate/graduate enrollment. Taking additional courses for graduate credit as a dual enrolled student will require formal application to the graduate program. Upon application, acceptance to the Petroleum Engineering MS degree from the Accelerated Program is automatic so long as the student remains in good standing (GPA above 3.0 and B’s or better in all graduate courses) within the program. To remain in the Accelerated Program, the student must meet Petroleum Engineering graduate student academic performance requirements and must maintain continuous enrollment at Missouri S&T. If the student exits the program before completion of the MS degree requirements, or fails to maintain continuous enrollment at Missouri S&T, the shared-credit courses may not apply toward graduate requirements in the event of future readmission.
It is the student’s responsibility to check on how dual-enrollment status and graduate coursework affects scholarships and other financial aid. As a graduate student, you are not eligible for Federal Pell Grants. You are still eligible for Federal Financial Aid. You may be eligible for fellowships and teaching/research assistantships. It is the International student’s responsibility to check with international affairs during completion of an accelerated BS/MS to ensure immigration status will be maintained throughout the program.
Minor Curriculum in Petroleum Engineering
The petroleum industry employs not only petroleum but also civil, electrical, chemical, geological, mechanical and other engineers. A petroleum engineering minor, therefore, enhances the academic credentials of a student and broadens their employment choices. A minor in petroleum engineering requires 15 hours of Missouri S&T credit to include the following:
| PET ENG 3520 | Petroleum Reservoir Engineering | 3 |
