Online Petroleum Engineering Degrees and Programs

Petroleum engineering covers the exploration, drilling, production and reservoir management of oil and gas resources, increasingly including carbon storage and subsurface energy.

Rule: Included when the program's official title names petroleum engineering, or when a broad engineering degree has a formally named petroleum engineering concentration (labelled as a concentration). Online coursework is required; Engineering Technology degrees are listed separately. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.

Attendance and labs

Few institutions offer petroleum engineering online; graduate programs are the usual online route.

Accreditation and licensure

Every school listed holds institutional accreditation from a recognized agency. ABET accredits programs, mostly bachelor's degrees; graduate programs are rarely ABET-accredited and that is not a mark against them. Professional Engineer licensure is decided by each state board. Licensure and online degrees

Admissions: what these programs publish

  • Prior degree requirements — usually a bachelor's in engineering or a closely related field for graduate programs.
  • Minimum GPA, as published on the program or graduate school page.
  • Mathematics and science prerequisites (calculus, differential equations, physics).
  • Bridge or leveling courses for applicants without the expected background.
  • GRE policy, references, statement and English-language requirements are shown per program; unpublished items stay “not verified”.
