A UNIVERSITY FULL OF ENERGY
The University of Texas at Austin has fundamental ties to the energy industry and has built on that foundation to become a leading innovator across all energy sectors. Energy is our passion.
Creating a Talent Pipeline
The Undergraduate Energy Management Program was launched in 2013 for students across all disciplines to pursue in parallel with a traditional degree. The program trains a skilled and knowledgeable pipeline of talent to accommodate the needs of the oil and gas exploration and production industry in the United States and across the world.
The American Association of Professional Landmen added the Energy Management Program to 11 accredited land management programs in 2015. The association leads oil and gas landmen in fair business, reinforces responsible use of resources, and provides members with a platform to network, advocate for the industry, and promote business.
Actively pursue opportunities and network, and don't be afraid of barriers and titles. Do everything you can to set yourself apart and be genuine.
