Why Get a Professional Master’s degree
The 21st century workforce demands readiness, malleability, and a wide knowledge base to keep their business ahead of the curve. Boone Pickens School of Geology, which has a legacy of creating prolific business-ready graduates for petroleum and groundwater industry addresses the issue of workforce preparedness through its state-of-the-art professional master’s program. The program will individuals to attain leadership in science and technology by specializing in one of three topics of their choice – geophysics, petroleum geology and hydrogeology – while broadening their skillsets through a variety of elective courses such as in big data, high-performance computing, and management. The “Professional Geoscience Master’s” program is our comprehensive answer to the post-pandemic needs of business that look for dynamic, ethical, and committed employees.
All courses, unless otherwise, specified, are 3 credit hours.
