School of Energy Resources

Please consider support the School of Energy Resources and help students gain real-word experience and a better understanding of the energy industry.


The Energy Resource Management and Development degree is designed to meet the needs of the energy industry. It offers two concentrations, Professional Land Management and Energy Land and Water Management. Through a combination of rigorous academic training, hands-on scenarios, and internships, students prepare for essential roles in industries such as oil and natural gas, renewable energy, and mining.


Students take a core curriculum focusing in business, natural resources, law and policy, project management, risk analysis, and mathematics. A critical component of the Energy Resource Management and Development degree is its emphasis on experiential learning opportunities and the applicability of abstract concepts in real-world scenarios.


In order for students to take advantage of these hands-on learning opportunities, School of Energy Resources faculty arrange field tours to energy development sites, visits to the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission hearings, and networking opportunities with industry partners and practitioners. Students and practitioners alike report that these learning experiences significantly enhance their education and create graduates with a better understanding of the energy industry in Wyoming.
