MS Energy and Earth Resources at University of Texas at Austin

Programme overview

The Master of Science in Energy and Earth Resources degree is intended for those who seek a quantitative underpinning for their graduate work and who desire to conduct a thesis project that is research-based, along the lines of those prepared in engineering and the sciences. Our belief is that every EER student, regardless of concentration, needs to be able to understand Earth and its controls on resource distribution; gather and analyze large data sets and derive useful information; make energy and earth resource decisions in the context of commercial viability; and make energy and earth resource decisions in the context of risk and uncertainty.
