The U.S. News and World Report currently ranks our petroleum engineering program at Texas A&M University as Number 1 for undergraduate programs (2024) and Number 2 for graduate programs (2024).
Our primary goal is to produce highly-qualified U.S. and international student graduates.
Our undergraduate program provides our students with the best possible preparation to enter the oil and gas industry. We maintain an ABET-accredited program and provide a curriculum that includes a solid foundation in petroleum engineering fundamentals. We also insist our students gain internship experience before they graduate. As a result, our graduates enter the industry as productive contributors who understand the need to continue learning and improving their skills throughout their careers.
Our graduate degree programs offer coursework at both the Masters and Ph.D. levels. We also offer certificate programs that continue education beyond or instead of a graduate degree.
Our Vision
We believe "I am an Aggie Petroleum Engineer" should be the most respected, prestigious self-definition within the petroleum engineering profession.
Our Mission
We see our mission as being able:
- to create, preserve, integrate, transfer and apply petroleum engineering knowledge,
- to produce capable future engineers and leaders, and to enhance the capabilities of current practitioners.
