The Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy is home to OU’s petroleum engineering and geosciences programs. We provide students with unique educational experiences that prioritize experiential learning from the lab to the field, and practice environmental stewardship. For more than 100 years, graduates from our college have gone on to shape the state, lead across the nation, and create advancements that positively impact us all.
The School of Geosciences offers four graduate degrees. Currently there are 110 students enrolled in our graduate programs. All of these degrees require students to take courses in their area of specialization and conduct original research projects that will result in a Thesis (M.S.) or Dissertation (Ph.D.). While in one of our graduate programs, students are under the advisement of one of our 19 full-time Ph.D. holding faculty members.
Along with their degree work, many of our students participate in the various opportunities that the School of Geosciences has to make contact with future employers. The School hosts many companies that provide recruitment, presentation and internship opportunities for our graduate students that assist in future career planning.
