AcademicsConocoPhillips School of Geology & Geophysics (CPSGG)Geologists and geophysicists investigate the processes that shape the Earth; analyze Earth history; search for new sources of energy, water and other natural resources; and endeavor to protect the quality of Earth’s environment. Graduates of the ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics are highly recruited by oil, gas, mining, environmental, and water resources industries. Students have many opportunities for summer internships. Many baccalaureate graduates continue their education to earn master of science and doctoral degrees in either geology or geophysics. Students graduating with an advanced degree enjoy a 98 percent job placement rate. Founded in 1900, the ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics holds the distinct title of being the first school in the United States to offer a degree in petroleum geology and has graduated more than 5,000 students. Mewbourne School of Petroleum & Geological Engineering (MPGE)Petroleum is synonymous with energy. Over 70 percent of the energy used in the United States originates from oil and natural gas. Petroleum engineering is a multifaceted discipline that is directed toward capitalizing on natural resources contained in a geological habitat. Petroleum engineers may work on specific production-related challenges in a technical area or may work to solve broad technical challenges within an organization. There has been a 100 percent job placement rate for MPGE graduates seeking employment during peak and slow trends in the oil and gas industry. The Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering awarded its first degree in geological engineering in 1919 and its first petroleum engineering degree in 1927. To date, 916 geological engineering graduates and 4,116 petroleum engineering graduates, including seven past presidents of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, have been part of this distinguished program.
