Master of Science in Energy Management

Curriculum

The Master of Science in Energy Management degree program prepares students for careers in oil and gas (upstream, midstream and downstream), coal, renewable energy, nuclear energy, power companies, banks and financial institutions, domestic and foreign government energy agencies, energy-focused consulting firms and major energy-consuming corporations. Courses incorporate a variety of techniques to teach students how to value energy companies and projects, develop operating strategies, negotiate contracts and manage energy-specific risks. The development of the program was motivated by a high concentration of energy companies in the Southwest and UT Dallas’ efforts to address skill shortages in industries critical to the Texas and regional economies.

Career Options

Graduates of the program seek such position as: entry-level professionals or managers in energy companies (such as oil, gas, renewable energy and electricity); researchers, analysts and bankers at financial institutions that deal in energy, as well as at energy-producing and -consuming companies; energy-focused consultants and policy analysts at foreign, federal, state and local government agencies.

Energy is an international business, and power is critical in both developed and developing countries. The MS in Energy Management degree trains students to work in those industries around the world.

The MS in Energy Management is a 36 semester credit hour degree program. For complete admission and degree requirements, view the Graduate Catalog at catalog.utdallas.edu.
