HOWDY!

The Department of Geology & Geophysics has been at the forefront of petroleum research and teaching nearly since its inception in 1922. Part of the College of Geosciences, the Department offers a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in petroleum geosciences with specializations available in sedimentary geology, structural geology and tectonics, reflection seismology, biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and reservoir characterization and response. Many courses are also available in the Department of Petroleum Engineering, College of Engineering.

The Graduate Certificate in Petroleum Geosciences is part of the pursuit of a MSc or PhD in Geology or Geophysics. It is not a separate degree and may not be attained separate from our degree programs. The program consists of a core of courses, internship presentations, and enrichment activities designed to serve as a base for original research in one of the subdisciplines listed above. With this base, students will be well prepared for a career in the petroleum industry. Our success in placing students is extraordinarily high. Students in the Certificate Program are eligible for a range of enrichment activities and student support.

The Certificate is awarded on completion of the MS or Ph.D. in the Department of Geology & Geophysics.
