EnLink Midstream, Natural Gas Scheduler
The Energy Management master’s degree program at UTD allowed me to develop a wealth of knowledge in different sectors of the energy industry. including oil and gas, renewables and nuclear energy. The program helped me advance my competency in business economics and risk analysis, and it encouraged me to gain news skills in managerial accounting, energy finance and supply chain management.
Professors with real-world experience in the energy industry familiarized me with language used in the oil and gas world that I use every day in my current position reviewing contracts. Field trips to generation sites with Program Director Stephen Molina granted our classes a special opportunity to go behind the scenes and walk through the process of energy production.
I am always grateful that I participated in the MS in Energy Management program early on, which has shaped the industry network that I have and will grow throughout my career.

The UT Dallas MS in Energy Management program helped me a lot to grow professionally. Some of the courses I took under this program filled in my knowledge gap about the business aspects of the energy industry. I got an opportunity to upgrade my soft skill set to the next level by attending the training sessions offered by JSOM’s Career Management Center. The Jindal School played a key role in setting me up for success as I started a new chapter in my career.

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.
Senior Plan Settlement and Revenue Accountant, Lucid Energy
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.
