Our Certificates of Continuing Education program meets the needs of petroleum engineers and other professionals wanting to grow or update their understanding of specific areas within petroleum engineering. Our certificates are managed through the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment (TEES) EDGE program.
Completing one of our certificates won't give you a degree or college credit. Instead, it will add valuable depth to your knowledge, especially if you work in the oil and gas industry.
Certificates Offered
Our program features several certificates and individual petroleum engineering courses. You can find the details and start dates on our TEES EDGE petroleum certificates webpage.
Benefits
Certificates provide focused study. You earn them by completing the graduate-level courses needed for each certificate. While these courses can't go toward a degree, they can:
- Satisfy job requirements or professional certification requirements
- Earn up to 4.5 continuing education units per course for you, depending on the length of the course
You do not need to apply to the university to take these courses. And you will receive written verification when you complete each course and certificate.
Costs
Certificates are not as costly as a degree because you don't have to pay tuition and student fees. Check out our TEES EDGE enrollment requirements webpage for details.
Requirements
We prefer that you have an undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering. If you don't, we need you to have an undergraduate degree in a closely related engineering discipline and several years of experience in the oil and gas field.
