 Return to: Programs of Study
All specialty aspects of petroleum engineering that align with UL Lafayette Department of Petroleum Engineering faculty’s areas of expertise can serve as potential specialization areas for both course selection and thesis topics. Example areas of particular emphasis by the department include reservoir engineering, tertiary recovery, environmental engineering, computational fluid flow, drilling, process economics, and computer-visualization of petroleum systems.
To be considered for admission to this program, applicants are required to provide official results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE); official scores must be sent directly from the test administrator to the Graduate School. This application requirement for official GRE scores is waived for UL Lafayette College of Engineering graduates with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher.
