Overview
About the program
A master's program for engineers and supervisors in oil and gas who are moving into management. You study the economics, contracts, projects and safety systems of the sector.
The Oil and Gas Management program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers petroleum economics, oil and gas project management, contracts and joint ventures, health, safety and environment management, operations and asset integrity, and ends with energy markets and transition.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
