McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering

For more information about degree offerings by the faculty of the McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering, visit the McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering webpage.

Accreditation

The B.S. degree program in petroleum engineering  is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Undergraduate Academic Programs

The faculty of petroleum engineering offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering (B.S.P.E.)  degree.

The faculty of geosciences offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Science in Geosciences (B.S.G.S.) degree. Degree options including environmental science, geology, geophysics, and petroleum engineering.

Program Goals

The objective of the undergraduate program is to provide basic and applied knowledge in petroleum engineering, with equal emphasis on drilling and completion, production and reservoir areas using the fundamental building blocks of mathematical, physical and engineering sciences.

The goals of the undergraduate program in geosciences are to provide students with critical content knowledge, and to develop their analytical skills.

Teacher Education Program

Students seeking secondary teacher certification in geoscience must declare education as a second major. This double major leads to teacher certification in Oklahoma (and preparation for certification in other states). In order to qualify, students must complete all the tasks listed on the Department of Education page in this Bulletin, including acceptance into the Teacher Education Program and to the Student Teaching Semester.

Geoscience education majors are assigned two faculty mentors, one in the Department of Geosciences and one in the Department of Education.
