Thesis Program
For the Thesis Program, thirty (30) semester hours of graduate credit with a minimum GPA of 3.0 are required as follows: (1) a minimum of 12 credit hours of 500 and/or 400G level graduate courses in the Petroleum Engineering Department with 6 of these credit hours being two core department courses that will be identified for the student upon acceptance into the program. [Note that no more than 6 graduate hours may be below the 500 level.]; (2) 6 credit hours achieved by the successful passing of two college-level core graduate courses: ENGR 501 and MCHE 508 ; (3) a minimum of 3 credit hours of either mathematics, statistics, or the sciences; (4) a minimum of 3 credit hours of additional graduate courses from either the Petroleum Engineering Department or another engineering department; (5) enrollment in the Petroleum Engineering Graduate Seminar course every semester the student is within the program at UL Lafayette; and (5) a minimum of 6 credit hours of thesis work and a thesis approved by the graduate committee. Non-Thesis Program
For the Non-Thesis Program, thirty-six (36) semester hours of graduate credit with a minimum GPA of 3.0 are required as follows: (1) a minimum of 18 credit hours of 500 and/or 400G level graduate courses in the Petroleum Engineering Department with 6 credit hours being two core department courses that will be identified for the student upon acceptance into the program. [Note that no more than 6 graduate credit hours may be below the 500 level.]; (2) 6 credit hours achieved by the successful passing of two college-level core graduate courses: ENGR 501 and MCHE 508 ; (3) a minimum of 6 credit hours of either mathematics, statistics, or the sciences, and (4) a minimum of 6 credit hours of additional graduate courses from either the Petroleum Engineering Department or another engineering department; (5) 3 hours of a research component and the submission of a research report; (6) satisfactory performance on a comprehensive exam to be given during the graduation semester.
