<p>Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this site. Just wondering how the different petroleum engineering colleges stack up. I take it UT Austin's programs considered to be the best. How does Texas A&M, LSU, Penn State, OU and Colorado School of Mines compare? Will it really make a difference where you choose to get a degree?</p>
<p>I would go to any college in Texas since they should have great connections to local oil companies.</p>
<p>Search for threads on the forum regarding Petroleum Engineering universities. There is already a lot of information available to answer your question.</p>
<p>I think Rice University would be the best University for Petroleum Engineering.</p>
<p>Texas A&M and UT
LSU / Texas Tech / Oklahoma
Penn State</p>
<p>That’s how I would rank them.</p>
<p>Any Pet E degree is good. There are very few schools that offer the major. Don’t get caught up in the “rankings”. Find a school that fits you academically and geographically and go for it. Do not spend money you don’t have trying to force fit a certain school for Pet E.</p>
<p>ANd FWIW, Rice University does not have Pet E.</p>
<p>Texas A&M had 100% job placement last year for Petroleum Engineer majors</p>
