natural gas vs petroleum engineering

<p>Hi there to all,</p>

<p>I was thinking of doing my master's in natural gas engineering at Tamu-Kingsville and work for a year or two then go for another master's in petroleum engineering.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is this possible? can one get a master's in both fields? Because I looked at the courses from Tamu-Kingsville and I'd got to say there are almost exactly the same with the courses of a typical petroleum engineering master's program. </p></li>
<li><p>Is this a good idea?</p></li>
<li><p>How is the Tamu-Kingsville master's in natural gas engineering program?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Don’t know if you’re still looking for answers, but here’s what I got:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Technically yes</p></li>
<li><p>No, it’s not a good a idea. The primary degree, without a Bachelor’s in PETE, should be petroleum engineering.</p></li>
<li><p>I’m currently a student at UAF and when I was looking at grad schools for a master’s, I asked my adviser about the TAMU-Kingsville option. He told me he hadn’t heard of it before and wouldn’t recommend it (he’s been a PETE professor for 30 years).</p></li>
</ol>
