The MSPE is one of the largest schools on the THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA TU campus. Founded in 1894, TU is Oklahoma’s oldest private Research funds obtained by the school’s faculty members university. Located in midtown Tulsa, the university is average $5 million per year. Students learn state-of-the- home to 4,500 students who are pursuing degrees in more art technology through the faculty’s participation in than 67 undergraduate, 47 graduate and 16 doctoral undergraduate teaching and can choose an option in programs. It currently ranks among the top 100 national geosciences, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering universities in the nation, according to U.S. News & World or midstream. Report. TU is recognized as a top 20 university in the world with fewer than 5,000 students for 2017 according to PROGRAM FEATURES Times Higher Education. TU is known for its engineering and Course requirements for a bachelor’s degree include applied sciences programs, humanities-based curriculum engineering sciences, humanities and social sciences, and global initiatives. TU students boast an average ACT mathematical sciences, physical sciences and professional score of 30 and an average SAT score of 1250. Students courses in petroleum engineering. Course options are receive personalized education where individual needs complemented by faculty members who are experienced in are addressed and meaningful research participation with each of these particular areas of engineering. professors is an integral component of the overall learning experience.

In addition to course work, students can engage in several organizations tied to the professional petroleum industry including the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE). Opportunities for scholarships, internships, industry networking and job placement are possible through active participation in these organizations. FACULTY Faculty in the McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering have direct connections and valuable working relationships with leaders in the petroleum industry. Through an expert advisory board and professional field experience, faculty members are actively engaged in the latest technological and operational advancements of petroleum engineering.

Oil and gas provide 62 percent of the world’s energy supply, and with increasing prosperity, energy demand is expected to increase. The average age of a petroleum engineer in the United States is 50, and in the next 5 years, more than 50 percent of the industry workforce will retire. As young petroleum engineers, TU alumni have the opportunity to advance faster than those in any other engineering field. For the past five years, 95 percent of TU petroleum engineering graduates have found employment within six months after graduation. The average starting salary for MSPE graduates is $90,000. Experienced executive positions pay close to $300,000. Typically, these successful alumni earn higher salaries than professionals working in all other areas of engineering. Graduates may obtain a position with an oil company, establish a consulting business, become an independent oil producer or work for a state or federal agency in the energy sector. Alumni have the freedom to begin careers in reservoir, drilling or production engineering. More than 30 international and domestic oil and gas exploration and production companies as well as international and domestic service companies actively recruit students from the MSPE. Petroleum engineering is a technology driven, outdoor industry that often requires travel to remote areas of the world. Alumni are offered jobs across the United States wherever oil and gas production exists. ■ RESEARCH he McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering is University Fluid Flow Projects (TUFFP).
