Has anyone received this degree from Nichols University and if so what job do you have using this degree. Trying to help my son choose a degree they offer. Thanks

He’ll have a better future with a gender studies degree

We aren't far from petro engineers being charged with crimes against humanity. He might want to to look into coding.

Before he decides he needs to select nutz for his truck, only then will he have success in oil, if he doesn't like nutz he's better off in a different area

As a geoscientist who started in O&G, I can say with confidence he should do something outside of O&G.

It’s not an engineering degree so he won’t get offers related to that job field for any majors or independents although I do know of one man who made it big with the tech degree. Schlumberger and Halliburton might take a look as a field engineer but upward mobility will be limited.
Speaking from over 25 years experience, I would tell your son to look into another field or go to an accredited engineering school and take up ChemE or Mechanical.

Sounds like a fancy way to say gas station attendant.

Does it have to be Nicholls?

Civil Engineering is better considering the direction the world is going.

Plant baw degree, Baw!

Make sure he takes a lot of coding classes. Will need them every 10 years when he is laid off

Certainly not an engineering degree would not be an engineer. Would probably be more along the lines by of operations or project manager. Probably better to go into Information Systems

He could make good money being an MWD

PET isn’t a fully accredited Engineering Curriculum.
Chose a better school or a fully accredited program at Nichols.

Stat away from O&G, I have been hoping to get laid off to force my hand and switch industries. It is still not what it was before the 14 downturn.

With any of the engineering technology degrees you would dypically work under an actual engineer doing more hands-on type of a job instead of being in an office doing design work.
With the degree that you mention, I would guess that he would end up working for either a drilling company or an oil field service company. In both of those jobs, the money is damn good but you work long hours under adverse conditions. I did some of these types of jobs for internships during college.
Don’t get too hung up on this, as almost everyone changes majors a couple times before graduation. You just need to be damn sure when he changes majors, some of his credits will transfer. Because tech is on the quarter system, you can lose a hell of a lot of credits if he ever tries to transfer to the LSU system….I don’t know how interchangeable nichols is.
