Petroleum Engineering Major

Petroleum Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses, including courses considered for transfer credit.

Once a student has attempted at least six hours within the major, if the cumulative major GPA is below 2.25, the student is placed on probation.

Once on probation, in the next semester(s), the semester GPA is evaluated. If the semester major GPA is greater than or equal to 2.25, but the cumulative GPA is below 2.25, the student continues on probation. If the semester GPA is below 2.25 the student is suspended.

Hours in the major include all PETR courses plus MATH 3321, MECE 2334, CIVE 3334, and CHEE 1331.
