The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in energy management is unique, encompassing required energy-related coursework from three of the University’s undergraduate colleges. Students choose either the upstream track (exploration and production) with emphasis on land, business development, and legal issues, or the midstream/downstream track (transportation, distribution, marketing, and trading of energy products and commodities). The curriculum encompasses the standard core of business courses for the B.S.B.A. degree, with additional upper-division coursework and electives that are relevant to professional energy management practice.

The TU energy management program is fully accredited by the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL).  Our program is also the only undergraduate program in the U.S. endorsed by the GPA-Midstream organization.

Energy Management Program Learning Objectives

Students completing the Energy Management, B.S.B.A.  major will demonstrate:

  • an understanding of the business, financial, economic, scientific, marketing, legal, and ethical aspects of energy that serve as a foundation for personal and professional growth within the industry.
  • skills that are applicable to energy business operations across multiple industry sectors.
  • how energy companies work and how different disciplines come together to impact overall business performance, stakeholder needs, and corporate citizenship.
  • an understanding of the various parts of the energy industry, articulating their linkages across the energy value chain.
