Calling on Best Minds On DegreeInfo

Hello friends

I need help for my friend who is trying to get into the final year program of any accredited online university with a brick and mortar campus. He has a regionally accredited bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and is trying to switch into another bachelors degree program at the final year level in an Oil and Gas - related field, Engineering Managment field or Logistics/Supply Chain field. Please post your suggestions ASAP. Many Thanks. Sam

His details at a glance:

Education: Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering

REQUEST: Seeking final year entry into any accredited Bachelors degree in Oil and Gas - related field, Engineering Managment field or Logistics/Supply Chain field.

School type: Accredited Online school with residential campus

Internship: Completed 1 year Engineering based internship program at an Oil and Gas Multinational corporation.

Post-Graduation work experience: Worked for many years in an administrative role at different establishments.

Budget: US$ 6000

 

The only DL undergrad engineering degrees I'm aware of are through University of North Dakota:

Why doesn't your friend just look at a grad degree in the engineering field of interest?

 

Is he flexible on one or the other of these two requirements?

Relatedly, in-state versus out-of-state tuition differentials can be substantial; he should start by checking every state school in the state or states in which he can claim residency.

 

Thanks to AV8R and Jonathan for their contributions. I will relay the info to my friend. I look forward to more suggestions. Thanks. Sam

 

The UND degrees in Chemical Engineering and possibly Civil Engineering would be good for the oil and gas fields.

For 30 additional credits he could design his own bachelors degree at TESC using the
LDAS approach. He could take courses of interest at a variety of colleges and universities and transfer them to TESC. He could include engineering, geology, and management courses (some via CLEP/DSST possibly)

Colorado State has this Masters in Systems Engineering

University of London has this PGD/Masters program in Petrolium Geoscience
(would a great compliment to an EE working in the energy field).

6000 divided by the 30 to 36 semester hours required at an absolute bare minimum for a second bachelor's degree is 167 to 200 per semester hour; this is an awfully tight budget, for a relatively narrow, niche band of subjects.
