<p>Does anyone have any idea about A&M's Masters in Petroleum Engineering offered online? Does it worth the money? (A&M's MS in PETR is ranked #1 or #2 in the nation) </p>

<p>I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and I'm about to start working for a drilling company. I have not taken and PETR classes, so I thought I would look into MS programs in PETR. </p>

<p>Or I could do an online certification through A&M, please see the link.
Texas</a> A&M Petroleum Distance Learning </p>

<p>and I'm thinking the following 6 classes</p>

<p>PETE 661 Drilling Engineering
PETE 628 Horizontal Drilling
PETE 662 Production Engineering
PETE 663 Formation Eval. & Analysis of Reservoir Performance
PETE 664 Petroleum Project Evaluation and Management
PETE 665 Reservoir Engineering</p>

<p>My question is, starting salary with just a BS in Mech is 70-75K, if I get the certification, will I get paid more? </p>

<p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p>

<p>You probably won’t get paid more to start because you have that certification.</p>

<p>But the classes you list above will get you well along the learning curve. After you finish those classes, you will have been exposed to almost all the common terminology and methods in the O&G industry. </p>

<p>I commend you for the list you have selected. Finish those classes and work hard in your new job. The higher pay will come very soon.</p>
