128 Total Sem. Hrs.

MATH 1550 , MATH 1552 , and PHYS 2101 , PHYS 2102  and PETE 2031  each require a grade of “C” or better before a student may register for any 3000 level petroleum engineering course.

A student may elect to take four semester hours of ROTC in place of PETE 1010  and PETE 2060 . The four semester hours of ROTC must be successfully completed before any substitution will be made.

Registration for 3000 and 4000 level petroleum engineering courses is only available to students admitted to the department.
