The energy Management curriculum teaches students how to develop and manage energy assets in a business environment with an emphases on oil, gas, coal, solar, wind and hydropower. Link:
Energy and power are global businesses with strategic assets in both developed and developing countries. TO succeed it is essential to learn an international approach to business.
Our program incorporates core MBA courses and core energy courses. The curriculum committee and industry advisory board update and oversee the courses to ensure they remain relevant to current industry needs. We designed this program with a practical learning component provided through projects developed by industry members. These teach skills in the valuation of an energy company’s assets and projects, operating strategies, contract negotiation and energy risk management.
Few textbooks are used on the energy side of the curriculum. Instead, our program uses:
An extensive library of model oil and gas contracts.Model Contracts published by the Association of International Energy Negotiators.
Foreign license and concession agreements.Actual wind, coal, solar and power agreements.
I like how UT Dallas engages us with real businesses in the area. We got a chance to visit a coal mine, solar farm, and natural wetland amongst other sites. The opportunity to engage with the operators provided real information about the multitude of challenges in energy during modern times.

I’ve been in the energy industry for the last decade, and I love it. However, I knew I needed to gain both broader and more in-depth knowledge of the sector if I wanted to advance my career. I compared UT Dallas’s Energy Management program to OU’s EMBA Energy program and found UT Dallas’s curriculum to be far more rigorous from many standpoints: business and economics, global, environmental and ethical.
