MA Programs in Petroleum

Many people choose to pursue a Master of Arts, or MA, after earning a bachelor’s degree in a similar field as a means of obtaining higher pay and earning positions with more prestige. Most master’s degree programs can be completed in one or two years, after which some graduates join the workforce while others pursue a doctorate title.

Just what is an MA in Petroleum? This science-specific degree program involves close study of the particular discipline of engineering, and students should expect careful review of a variety of topics such as mathematics, environmental science, general engineering and the natural and earth sciences. Additional attention will be given to matters such as thermodynamics, calculus, mechanics and physics, as well as petroleum reservoir systems, extraction techniques and related considerations.

Many graduates of petroleum master’s degree programs find that they are eligible to apply to a broad number of lucrative, high-prestige positions after earning the advanced academic designation. Earning potential is also generally stronger among master’s degree holders than it is among those without degrees, or those with lesser degrees.

Due to considerable variation in tuition costs among master’s degree programs, prospective students should consult the admissions office of each school of interest for accurate tuition information and rates.

The Master of Arts in Petroleum gives graduates the skills they need for success in the field of petroleum engineering and extraction. Most graduates of these programs work as either petroleum or reservoir engineers. Others work for energy companies or find other profitable positions within the oil and gas industry. Others yet choose to teach petroleum, engineering or a related topic at a college or university.
